    The phrase “elephant in the room” is an idiom that refers to an  obvious problem or issue that everyone is aware of but avoids discussing or addressing, often because it is difficult or uncomfortable to confront. In the corrected sentence, the idiom is used to convey that the growing poverty in the world is a significant and undeniable issue that Western politicians need  to acknowledge and deal with, even though they might be hesitant or reluctant to do so.
