Faces of World Poverty: 20 Arresting Photographs [Get Rich Slowly]
http://blogactionday.s3.amazonaws.co...ers/120x90.jpgWhat do we picture when we think about poverty? What stereotypes do we have about what poverty looks like? What do they mask from us? What do they keep us from seeing?
While putting together my two main posts for Blog Action Day, I came across a number of arresting photographs depicting poverty around the world. It became clear to me that poverty takes many forms — poverty has many faces. These are a few of them.
Each of these photos is from Flickr, and has been tagged by the photographer as depicting “poor” or “poverty” or “homeless”. Click an image to learn more about it.

Re: Faces of World Poverty: 20 Arresting Photographs [Get Rich Slowly]
These pictures are conscious provoking but the so called developed nations have made the economic system so supporting for rich people and vulnerable for the the poor ones that the rich are becoming more and more rich and the poor are becoming more poorer. This is all due to the tyrant capitalistic system.
