It examines issues such as access to health care, housing and nutrition, poverty related shame, and violence. This book investigates different policy and civic responses to extreme poverty, ranging from food donations to penalisation and 'social cleansing' of highly visible poor and how they are related to concerns of ethics, justice and human dignity
