Abstract:
Freedom from Poverty examines how today's non-governmental organizations are modifying human rights practices and reshaping the political landscape by taking up the cause of subsistence rights. Rights are being used as legal, moral, and political tools in the struggle to provide food, housing, and healthcare to those in need.
