background to the poverty problem

In Austria, the topic of poverty is becoming increasingly pressing, which is also evident in Vorarlberg. According to Orf Vorarlberg , women are particularly affected by poverty, which underlines the efforts of Caritas to improve support for those affected. More than 1.3 million people in Austria suffer from poverty, which represents an alarming number and indicates the need for solidarity social support. The fundraising campaign of Meinzirk is a ray of hope in this dark reality and shows how important aid actions for people are in need.

These two contributions illustrate the challenges that families with chronically ill children and people stand in precarious economic situations. It is a call to solidarity at a time when help is needed more than ever.
