DanChurchAid believes

Henrik Stubkjær, Secretary General

"Hunger is an inevitable consequence of poverty. Hunger is the most grotesque example of inequity in the world. DCA is fighting hunger with all of the means we have, both in the short and longer term."

Growing wealth - extreme poverty

Even though some of Asia’s economies are storming forwards, the region remains the poorest region in the world.

The gulf between the rich and the poor is increasing, and at least 600 million people live in extreme poverty (that is, for less than 1 dollar a day). In India, several hundred million people now have Western spending power and lifestyles, while more than 300 million people still live in extreme poverty.

More than half of the world’s starving people live in Asia.

Because of the caste system in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka the more than 260 million casteless (still) do not have the most basic human rights.

The immediate victims of discrimination and oppression are women and children. Girls are discriminated against from their conception, when poor families use abortion as a means to assure they get sons.

At the same time, climatic and geological conditions make Southeast Asia one of the most disaster-struck areas in the world – causing great human and material losses.

Poor and oppressed sections of the population are often forced to live in the most exposed and remote areas of land, and it is those without land, migrants and urban slum dwellers who are most vulnerable when it comes to natural disasters when floods and cyclones rage.
