Aporophobia (from theSpanishaporofobia, and this from theAncient Greek ἄπορος (áporos), 'without resources, indigent, poor,' and φόβος (phobos), 'hatred' or 'aversion')[1][2] are negative attitudes and feelings towardspoverty and poor people. It is the disgust and hostility toward poor people, those without resources or who are helpless.[3]
The word povertyism is also used, in the field of international law, to denote this form of discrimination against people living in poverty.[4]
The concept of aporophobia is used by media outlets and professionals.[5] Aporophobia is the hatred, fear, and rejection of poor people. Poverty is a circumstantial characteristic of human life and is in no way part of one's identity. Poverty is not a permanent condition of human beings, but rather an undesirable and unjust situation, but one that can be overcome.[6]
