HIIC students share their experiences and insights of poverty
/What happened?
In these writings, HIIC students share their experiences and insights into living with poverty in their communities. As a society that believes in compassion and justice, these writings from HIIC students act as a call to action to address inequalities and the increasing number of people being swept up in the wake of crushing poverty.
Disturbing yet timely, this collection of writing from students of the Health Issues in the Community course (HIIC) reveals the corrosive effect that poverty and inequality are having on a day-to-day basis in modern Scotland.
How did HIIC spark community action?
Amidst the grim picture that is so minutely described, the writings are also witness to the power of community, of kindness, of the sense of 'the commonweal' that is alive in our communities.
