🗣 Check out this interview with FEANTSA's Policy Officer Simona Nicoleta Barbu and the iDEM Project EU. Looking at the danger of social exclusion for marginalised groups such as those experiencing homelessness, particularly in democratic participation. Read it through the link below ⬇
Interview with Simona Nicoleta Barbu from FEANTSA! 🎙️ 🌍 We interviewed FEANTSA's Policy Officer Simona Barbu to learn about how migration, disability and homelessness intersect and how to include the voices of people who experience marginalisation in our digital democracies. 💬 "We need to expand and diversify outreach methods as you aim to do with iDEM Project EU. It is not enough to make consultations open and public, we need to develop tools to empower and include the voices of people who experience marginalisation." 📲 Digital accessibility tools, like iDEM's, have to be co-designed to truly be effective. Read our article to understand more about the complex realities and diverse needs of people experiencing language barriers. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dSZVMsB2

Concerts, sporting mega-events, and the tourism they generate shouldn't come at the expense of vulnerable populations. Displacing individuals experiencing #homelessness is a violation of human rights. Paris prepares for the Olympics 2024, the eviction of homeless individuals is on the rise, reflecting a troubling trend of social exclusion. FEANTSA urges authorities to prioritise the rights and dignity of all people. Read the full statement 🔗https://bit.ly/4cQwAxJ

FEANTSA's insights were featured in a Euronews article examining #homelessness across Europe: 💬 'The housing market, combined with policy choices, and an unfavourable economic context, probably go a long way towards explaining England's acute homelessness crisis,' Ruth Owen, FEANTSA's Deputy Director, told Euronews. 'Lack of affordable housing is a critical factor. Inadequate benefits, including the repeated freezing of housing benefits, is another,' she added. Owen emphasises that councils are increasingly forced to rely on temporary accommodation to manage homelessness while the central government focuses its efforts on ending rough sleeping. '(While this) is an important goal, it cannot provide a solution to the skyrocketing numbers in temporary accommodation,' she explains. As to why people become homeless, FEANTSA explains: 'There are multiple pathways into homelessness. A complex interplay of structural, institutional, relationship and personal factors often contribute to someone becoming homeless.'

🚨'The French government has put thousands of #homeless immigrants on buses and sent them out of Paris ahead of the #Olympics.' These individuals didn't know that by boarding the buses, they were entering an asylum programme that could lead to their deportation. Some had jobs in Paris, but in the cities they were relocated to, they were not provided with stable accommodation or job opportunities. Those evicted from empty buildings in Paris ended up on the streets of other French cities without a network or opportunities for survival. The celebration of a mass event should not entail the displacement of the most disadvantaged.
