Tens of millions of U.S. children, elder people, and disabled people live without enough food or clothing, and face threats of violence, bullying, abusing and drugs, according to a report released on Friday.
The Record of Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2019, which was issued by the State Council Information Office, said the U.S. government not only has insufficient political will to improve the conditions for vulnerable groups, but also keeps cutting relevant funding projects.
While levels of extreme poverty worldwide had dropped dramatically, the poverty ratio of U.S. children was about the same rate as 30 years ago, according to the report.
It also noted that one in four Americans with disabilities faced unique challenges in securing employment and establishing financial security.
Barrier-free environment in the United States is under poor construction, it added.
