Battle Quote by Leslie Jamison
“The global phenomenon of poverty tourism - or 'poorism' - has become increasingly popular during the past few years. Tourists pay to be guided through the favelas of Brazil and the shantytowns of South Africa. The recently opened Los Angeles Gang Tour carries visitors through battle-scarred territories of urban violence and deprivation.”
![“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life." [ Live 8 Concert , Mary Fitzgerald Square, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2 July 2005]” quote by Nelson Mandela](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b65/nelson-mandela-248_dignity_overcoming-poverty-is-not-a-gesture-of-c_1982981.jpg)
