DESHA Beliefs

• The lives of human beings are of equal value.

• In a world riches and poverty is an injustice, it must be eradicated.

• Poverty makes people more vulnerable to conflict and natural calamity; much of this suffering can be prevented and must be relieved. People’s vulnerability to poverty and suffering is increased by unequal power relation based on, for example, gender, race, class, caste and disability; women, who make up a majority of the worlds poor, are especially disadvantaged.

• To overcome poverty and suffering involves changing unjust policies and practices, nationally as well as working closely with people in poverty.
