Anti Poverty Week 2006 Poster

This poster was released to mark Anti-Poverty Week in Canberra for 2006. It aims to encourage the viewer to reflect on the poverty that exists even in supposedly wealthy cities world-wide, and to consider the ways in which homelessness prevents enjoyment of other human rights. While the poster provides a reminder of the harsh reality of rough sleeping, the figure of the rough sleeper also represents the tip of the iceberg in a society where most homelessness is less visible and less popularly acknowledged. This poster was produced jointly by the ACT Youth Coalition, the Australian Federation of Homelessness Organisations, and ACT Shelter.
