[…] resulting in intense dispossession, sexual and economic exploitation, alarming health and nutrition declines as well as precarious survival. – Concluding Words (p. 23-24):
The picture that emerges from the report is in many ways grim and troubling, one that affirms that there continue to be significant populations that are consistently and often extremely deprived of access to public goods that are essential for a human life with dignity.
