Louise, 57 years old, helped by the Catholic Relief: "Being poor, on RSA, is not taking advantage of the system, it is living in stress"

Louise, a 57-year-old woman living in poverty, shares her struggles after receiving aid from Secours catholique. She reflects on her difficult past, including losing her mother at a young age and facing health issues that forced her to stop working. Despite her efforts in various jobs, she now relies on minimal financial support and feels stigmatized as a 'lazy' person. The annual report from Secours catholique highlights that a significant portion of those in poverty are women, with many facing health challenges.
