CHAPTER 1

Freedom from Financial

bondage, Fear, Captivity

A call to end suffering and modern-day slavery; Freedom; means the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. The state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint: For example, He won his freedom after a retrial. Exemption from external control, interference, regulation etc.: Freedom stands for something greater than just the right to act however I choose—it also stands for securing to everyone an equal opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To most reasonable people, freedom means more than just free to do whatever I want. Freedom means to liberate; to liberate something means to release it from confinement. Grant freedom to; free from confinement; release (gas or energy) as a result of chemical reaction or physical decomposition: As the saying goes, If you love something, set it free,"—liberate it. Liberate is a very powerful verb that has been an important part of the history of the United States. In the Revolutionary War the American fought to liberate itself from Great Britain, and the Civil War was fought in part to liberate the Southern slaves. As recently as the 1920’s women sought to be liberated from second-class citizen status. Even today, there are rebels groups in foreign countries striving to liberate their people who are denied freedom by their governments. Absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government: Independence, self-government, self-determination, self-rule, home-rule, sovereignty, autonomy; democracy;

Revolution was the only path to freedom. The state of not being imprisoned or enslaved; The shark thrashed it way to freedom; Liberty, liberation, release, deliverance, delivery, discharge; literary disenrollment; historical manumission.

Freedom is so important that the whole mission of Jesus on earth was to bring liberty for humanity: So when Jesus entered into the Synagogue he was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it is written, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed. And announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people. Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. All the people in the synagogue had their eyes fixed on him.

Luke chapter 4 verses 17-20: And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. And he rolled up the scroll and gives it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

King James version in the book of Luke chapter 4 verses 17-20; says "And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias, And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he had anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he had sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. Every human being is entitled to four essential human freedoms which are- The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere: The second is freedom of every person to worship God in any way he choose: The third is freedom from want—which is translated into a world which will secure to every one or nation a healthy peacetime life for prosperity, The forth is freedom from fear—which, translated into eliminating world armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in any time is no longer a threat; That is no vision of distant millennium. It is definite basis for human dignity and regeneration.

Freedom from Famine; The worst Famine and Droughts in history;

1: Great Chinese Famine: The Great Chinese Famine is the worst on record that lasing three years from 1958 to 1961 as many as 30 to 45 million were killed as a result

2: Chinese Famine of 1907: Coming in second, a brief but deadly famine hit China in 1907 and is accordingly known as the Chinese Famine of 1907. In a matter of months an estimated 24 million people were killed.

3: Indian Famine: Affecting the presidencies and provinces of British India, the India Famine was six-year event that took place between 1896 and 1902. One of many famines to hit India throughout the years, this one was the worst, claiming an estimated 19 million lives.

4: Bengal Famine of 1770: Killing one-third of the population of Bengal over five-year period, the Bengal Famine of 1770 took place between 1969 and 1773 in what is a now part of Bangladesh. An estimated 15 million people perished in the famine, which was blamed on greedy principles from the British East India Company’s rule.

5: Northern Chinese Famine: As the name suggests, the Northern Chinese Famine affected the northern portion of the country of China. As the fifth-worst famine in history, this disaster lasted from 1876 to 1879 and is believed to have killed 13 million people.

6: Indian Great Famine of 1876-78: Known as the Great Famine of 1876-78, this tragedy that took the lives of as many as 10.3 million, affected over 250,00 square miles in India. The two-year famine also distressed over 58 million in the Madras, Mysore, and Hyderabad and Bombay areas.

7: Great European Famine: Creating the worst famine ever seen in Europe, the Great European Famine of 1315—1317, also known as the Great European Famine, was actually a series of crises. The tragedy, that killed an estimated 7.5 million people, was caused by strange weather and unrelenting rains.

8: Soviet Famine of 1932-33: Affecting the top grain-producing areas of the Soviet Union over several months, the Soviet famine of 1932-1933 is remembered by some as the Holodomor, a term that translates to hungry mass death. Between 7 and 10 million were killed in the area, which is now part of the Ukraine and Siberia, among other areas.

9: Chinese Famine of 1936: Hitting China over a few months in 1936, the Asian country lost an estimated five million people during the Chinese Famine of 1936. This incident was one of several to affect China during the first part of the 20th century.

10: Russian Famine of 1921: Though it may have killed as many as 10 million, the Russian Famine of 1921 is considered to have resulted in five million deaths. This disaster affected the Volga-Ural region and was believed to be as a result of hard times during World War 1.

11: Chinese Drought 1941: The worst disaster on this list completely attributed to a drought, or lack of rainfall, the Chinese Drought 1941 prevented millions from growing and consuming crops in China that year. As a result, an estimated three million people perished.

12: Chinese Famine of 1928-30: Adding to the list of disasters in China during the first half of the 20th century, the Chinese Famine of 1928—1930 killed three million people over the three years span.

13: Russian Famine of 1601-03: Killing one-third of the population, the Russian Famine of 1601-03 is the worst to hit the country in terms of fatalities, killing as many as two million people. A combination of crops disruption from the erupting volcano of Huaynaputina in Peru and record cold weather was believed to be the cause.

14: Vietnamese Famine of 1945: Taking place from October 1944 to May 1945 during World War 11, the Vietnamese Famine of 1945 occurred from a combination of the war, poor government management, floods and droughts. Overall, between 400,000 and two million perished as a result.

15: Deccan Famine of 1630-32: Occurring after three-consecutive crops failures, the Deccan Famine of 1630-32 was one of the worst to take place in India. Over the three-year period, an estimated two million perished, mainly in the Deccan region of Central India.

16: Bengal Famine of 1943: Killing between 1.4 and 4 million people, the Bengal Famine of 1943 was one of the deadliest times for the region, which is part of India. Several factors created the tragic events, including war and policy issues by the government.

17: North Korean Famine: Also called the Arduous March of Tribulation, the North Korean Famine started in the early 1990s and killed as many as 3.5 million people by 1997. As one of the most recent famines, it killed as much as 15% of the 22 million people in the region.

18: Great Irish Famine: Known also as the Irish Potato Famine, the Great Irish Famine took place between 1845 and 1852 in the country of Ireland. The rough period, caused by a potato disease that ravaged crops, caused the area to lose as much as 25% of its population with one million in fatalities and another one million in residents who emigrated as a result.

19: 1984-85 Famine in Ethiopia: Affecting what is now Eritrea and Ethiopia, the 1984-85 Famine in Ethiopia killed an estimated one million people in the region. Low rainfall, combined with poor government management, is believed to be the cause.

20: Horn of Africa Famine: Just as the region is experiencing a devastating famine in the 21st century, the Horn of Africa area experienced a deadly famine in 1888. Over one million reported died during that time in the areas of Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia.

Bangladesh Famine of 1974 killed many people

CHAPTER 2

Freedom from

Slavery and Poverty

FREEDOM FROM STARVATION

Starvation means suffering or death caused by hunger; extreme hunger, lack of food, famine, undernourishment, malnourishment, forced fasting, extreme malnutrition. Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake. It is the most extreme form of malnutrition. In humans, prolonged starvation can cause permanent organ damage and eventually death. The term inanition refers to the symptoms and effects of starvation. Starvation may also be used as means of torture or execution. According to the World Health Organization, hunger is the single gravest threat to the World’s public health. The WHO also states that malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all cases. Under nutrition is a contributory factor in the death of 3.1 million children under five every year. Figures on actual starvation are difficult to come by, but according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the less severe condition of undernourishment currently affects about 842 million people, or about one in eight (12.5%) people in the world population. The bloated stomach, as seen in the picture to the right, represents a form of malnutrition called kwashiorkor which is caused by insufficient protein despite a sufficient caloric intake. Children are more vulnerable to kwashiorkor whose advanced symptoms include weight loss and muscle wasting.

Common Causes: The basic cause of starvation is an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. In other words, the body expends more than it takes in. This imbalance can rise from one or more medical conditions and/or circumstantial situations, which can include: Medical reasons (A) Anorexia nervosa (B) Bulimia nervosa (C) Celiac Disease or Coma (D) Digestive disease or Diabetes Mellitus (E) EDNOS : Constant vomiting or Major depressive disorder.

Circumstantial causes: Famine—for any reason, such as political strife and war. Fasting---done without proper medical supervision. Poverty---The man causes of starvation are as follows: (

1) The most common cause of starvation is the economy; poor people sometimes cannot buy enough foodstuffs and thereby fail to fulfill the caloric demands of the body.

(2) Starvation may be due to food scarcity in the society. This causes decreased supply of food to the whole of the population, and thus mass starvation may occur.

(3) Starvation may be due diseases that can cause rapid weight loss either due to the nature of the disease or the inability of the person to either eat or eat enough due to symptoms including, but not limited to : fatigue, nausea, or vomiting. The person may also be the host to a parasite such as an intestinal worm which may take a significant amount of the calories ingested by its host. This effect is exacerbated if the human host is already ingesting far less food than is required to meet their daily caloric intake needs.

(4) There are some clinical conditions such as recovering from surgery or burns etc., in which the person may be too fatigued or incapacitated to eat enough during their period of convalescence.

Signs and Symptoms: There is insufficient scientific data on exactly how long people can live without food. Although the length of time obviously varies with an individual’s percentage of body fat and general health, one medical study estimates that in adult’s complete starvation leads to death within 8-12 weeks. There are isolated cases of individuals living up to 25 weeks without food. Starvation begins when an individual has lost about 30% of his normal body weight. Once the loss reaches 40% death is almost inevitable.

Freedom from want or poverty: Want means lack or something desirable or essential. You shall want for nothing while you are with God. A lack or deficiency of something for example houses which are in want of repair. Or Refugees who are in want of food. To prevent children from dying of malnutrition and starvation: A desire for something: Wish, desire, demand, longing, yearning, fancy, craving, hankering.

Poverty means the state or condition of having little or no money, goods or means of support: the states of being extremely poor, millions of families are living in abject poverty. Synonyms: Penury, destitution, beggary, indigence, need, hardship, the states of being inferior in quality or insufficient in amount: Scarcity, deficiency, dearth, shortage, paucity. Insufficiency, absence, lack: Poverty is generally scarcity or dearth, or the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money. It is a multifaceted concept, which includes social, economic political elements. Poverty seems to be chronic or temporary, and most of the time is closely related to inequality. As a dynamic concept, poverty is changing and adapting according to consumption patterns, social dynamics and technological change. Absolute poverty or destitution refers to the deprivation of basic human needs, which commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter and health care. Relative poverty is defined contextually as economic inequality in the location or society in which people live. After the industrial revolution, mass production in factories made production goods increasingly less expensive and more accessible. Of more importance is the modernization of agriculture, such as fertilizers, to provide enough yields to feed the population. Responding to basic needs can be restricted by constraints on government’s ability to deliver services, such as corruption, tax, avoidance, debt and loan conditionality’s and by the brain drain of health care and educational professionals. Strategies of increasing income to make basic needs more affordable typically include welfare, economic freedoms and proving financial services. Poverty reduction is a major goal and issues for many international organizations such the United Nations and the World Bank. The World Bank estimated 1.29 billion people were living in absolute poverty in 2008. Of these, about 400 million people in absolute poverty lived in India and 173 million people in China. In terms of percentage of regional populations, sub-Saharan Africa at least 47 percent had the highest incidence rate of absolute poverty in 2008. Between 1990 and 2010, about 663 million people moved above the absolute poverty level. Still, extreme poverty is a global challenge; it is observed in all parts of the world, including developed economies. UNICEF estimates half the world’s children (1.1 billion) live in poverty.

The word poverty comes from old French povete(Modern French:pauvrete, ) from Latin paupertas from pauper(poor).The English word :poverty" via Anglo-Norman poverty. There are several definitions of poverty depending on the context of the situation it is placed in, and the views of the person giving the definition.

Measuring poverty List of countries by percentage of population living in poverty and poverty threshold: Definitions: Percentage of the population living on less than $1.25 per day, per UN data from 2000-2006. Percentage of population suffering from hunger, World Food Programmed, 2008: United Nations: Fundamentally, poverty is the inability of getting choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough to feed and clothe a family, not having a school or clinic to go to, not having a land on which to grow one’s food or a job to earn a living, and not having access to credit. It means insecurity, powerlessness and exclusion of individuals, households and communities. It means susceptibility to violence, and often implies living in marginal or fragile environments, without access to clean water or sanitation. World Bank: Poverty is pronounced deprivation in well-being, and comprises many dimensions. It includes low incomes and the inability to acquire the basic goods and services necessary for survival with dignity. Poverty also encompasses low levels of health and education, poor access to clean water and sanitation, inadequate physical security, lack of voice, and insufficient capacity and opportunity to better one’s life.

Copenhagen Declaration: Absolute poverty is a condition characterized by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education and information. It depends not only on income but also on
