Communication is a basic human need as much as food, water and shelter. Adequate access to communication assets and fair representation in public communication processes need to be seen as a human right – one that is not fully enjoyed by people living in poverty. Broader recognition of a rights-based approach to communication to eradicate communication poverty and poverty in general is needed at this point in the search to find ways to make real changes by and for people living in poverty. |
