ABSTRACT
Human rights is a worldwide Equality Project. We can give two examples of how neoliberalism violates this project. Both relate to hunger. As part of protrade reforms, the International Monetary Fund imposed a structural adjustment program on Malawi in 1999 and forced the Malawian government to cut off aid to small farmers, resulting in a famine in which around 1,500 people died of hunger.1 Domestic policies that abandon Americans are also dominated by a neoliberal ideology. Today, 35.1 million Americans live in households that are food insecure. That number includes 12.4 million children, or 16.9 percent of all children.2
