"Poverty is an industry that can be dismantled." Lebohang Liepollo Pheko, senior research fellow at Trade Collective, offers a nuanced critique of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Pheko argues that the SDGs are rooted in flawed development models that prioritise economic growth over addressing structural inequalities. Instead, she advocates for redefining poverty to emphasise power, autonomy, and dignity.
