ABSTRACT
Indonesia is said to be the forth largest nation where the statistic of poverty among the people is relatively high. Poverty is defines as living without basic necessities like clean water, proper nutrition, healthcare, education, clothing and shelter. The statistics of poverty in Indonesia can be seen in the study held by the Central Bureau of Statistic or can be said as Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS). In the statistic, it states that the percentage of poverty in rural areas is much higher than urban area. But, however there is migration of poor to near-poor, but there also people who actually not poor migrate to near-poor. It can be said that, poverty in Indonesia is hard to overcome. This is due to several factors such as high rate of population growth and corruption happens in Indonesia. To overcome this, we have to stand for the rights of citizens. It can be by the help of human rights and the system of democracy. United Nations Human Rights defines human rights as the rights to all human beings in the world, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, religion, language, or any other status. While democracy is defines as a rule of people by the people where people have the power to rule in the national government. There are two articles of human rights that advocate for the right of the poor, which are article 25 and 28. The system of democracy can helps by the power of freedom to speak and voice their opinion.
