Unequal Choices - 4th of Jul, 2006
Poverty “is about unequal choices” according to a report published today by End Child Poverty. The report, which chronicles the views of families in poverty from Glasgow and across the United Kingdom, highlights the difficult choices they face in their daily lives and the solutions they recommend.
“People [in poverty] don’t get the same choices as other people…do we heat or eat?” Participant
In the report families speak passionately about the effect of the daily, endless grind of poverty and the impact it has on their children.
“When you are depressed, it affects your children, …in some cases, you do not think of … the children, because you are constantly thinking about paying back your debts.” Participant
This report brings together the views of over 300 people who took part in a series of inspiring events organised by End Child Poverty, its members and supporters in Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow, London, Liverpool and Sheffield.
