Aporophobia
Aporophobia (from the Spanish aporofobia, and this from the Ancient Greek ἄπορος (áporos), 'without resources, indigent, poor,' and φόβος (phobos), 'hatred' or 'aversion')[1][2] are negative attitudes and feelings towards poverty and poor people. It is the disgust and hostility toward poor people, those without resources or who are helpless.[3]
The word povertyism is also used, in the field of international law, to denote this form of discrimination against people living in poverty.[4]
