“Poverty is the worst form of violence”
— Mahatma Gandhi

Simplified Meaning:
Living in poverty causes great harm to people. It isn't just about not having enough money; it affects their entire lives. Imagine not having enough to eat, not being able to see a doctor when you’re sick, or not being able to go to school. This kind of suffering is a form of violence because it brings pain and hardship to people just like physical violence does. For example, a child growing up in a very poor family might not get enough nutritious food, which can lead to health problems and make it hard for them to learn and play. To improve life, society can focus on helping those in need, like providing better education and healthcare for everyone. By doing this, we can reduce suffering and make the world fairer and kinder.
