- Don’t judge. Don’t judge someone based on their circumstances. You don’t know what they’ve been through or what they’re going through.
- Offer help. If you see someone begging, offer to help them. You can offer them food, water, or money. You can also offer to help them find resources or services.
- Educate others. Talk to your friends, family, and community about the stigma of begging. Help them to understand that people who beg are not lazy or worthless. They are simply people in need.
By taking these steps, we can help to break down the stigma of begging and make it easier for people to get the help they need.
