This woman is not living a moneyless life. She’s living rent-free on charity & has to crowdfund medical care. I wish her well as she gets older. I wish the media wouldn’t romanticise poverty & extreme frugality or pretend you can be ‘moneyless’. It’s exhausting.

NGOs don’t solve poverty, they manage it. Solve the problem and the funding dies. So the crisis must live forever. Brilliant business model. #PovertyPorn #AidFails

Our struggle isn’t an opportunity for outsiders to come in and get a brand deal. We are real people with real problems. We don’t exist for your content.

“Poverty Porn” is streaming everywhere now.

Channel 5 have a whole new series of 'Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday'.

I suppose, in whoever commissions these things' head, it's bridging a divide, improving understanding, etc.
Those who have holidays at all are better off than many.

Many can't afford the holidays the series sneers at. #PovertyPorn

Flora Lichtman and @pulitzercenter.bsky.social should also check the math on Alexander Clapp's claims about who purchases scrap plastic and what they do with it, and then visit the domestically generated Asian and African litter he's actually witnessing. retroworks.blogspot.com/2025/02/recy...

Nonprofits are returning to #PovertyPorn imagery by turning to AI generated imagery of Black and Brown bodies suffering. This is as much a failure of funders cutting budgets as it is a failure of leaders uplifting and resourcing organisations in the global south.
