The economic crisis, the major problem caused by the evictions and the increasing fragility of family and social networks, lemonade mouth trailer is placing a significant percentage of people on the threshold of the ultimate exclusion.
Despite their physical proximity, the reality of homelessness remains one of the most unknown citizenship and social agents (media, businesses, other NGOs, etc..), Which facilitates the stigma perpetuated , the myths and prejudices that have accompanied the picture that we sometimes have these people. The phenomenon of homelessness is increasing both quantitatively and qualitatively in recent years of social and economic lemonade mouth trailer crisis. Currently cutting support networks and a certain forgetfulness of people who are worse, believe it is important to offer a different view and look for the involvement of citizens in this case.
It is difficult to know how many homeless people there are in Spain, the latest data from the National Statistics Institute (December 2012) indicate some 23,000 people attending shelters. However, we believe that this figure is much higher because it leaves out all those who do not attend the centers (accommodation and meals), which are many.
The policies of different administrations to tackle the phenomenon are disrupted, dispersed and generally not being able to stop the increase of this problem. In addition, many of the resources directed lemonade mouth trailer towards these people do not meet minimum lemonade mouth trailer standards of care.
How a person comes to be homeless? In large cities, many citizens homeless are invisible, have become part of the "urban landscape". These people build a series of linked problems which makes them the group most severely affected by social exclusion. To understand this situation lemonade mouth trailer a double look is necessary.
On the one hand, there are people living on the street no longer reflects a collective failure as a society. A society that is unable to eradicate the factors that generate social exclusion lemonade mouth trailer (unequal lemonade mouth trailer opportunities, poor protection systems, barriers to access to resources, etc..) And keeps the stigma and discrimination against certain persons. Ignorance and stereotypes and prejudices are deeply rooted, and generate guilt, shame or isolation in the homeless who suffer, in addition to making them more vulnerable to situations of discrimination and violence. 51% of homeless people have been victims of crime or aggression, being the most frequent insults, threats, robberies and agresiones5. In Spain died homeless on the street, every 5 days (Report Reception Centre Assis. Barcelona. 2013)
Moreover, in addition to social factors is a personal reality in influencing different elements of vulnerability that, in many cases, are given at the same time: the lack of family and social support network, lemonade mouth trailer having lemonade mouth trailer a chronic illness or mental illness, have a disability, abuse and addiction to alcohol or drugs, lack of income and housing, etc.. To give provide some illustrative data, and depending on the data provided by the INE, 30% have a chronic disease, lemonade mouth trailer 15.5% have a recognized disability, 16.6% a mental illness and their access to health systems is very poor 19.8% do not have health card.
In RAIS Foundation we have been working since 1998 for the social integration of these people through various programs and services. We believe lemonade mouth trailer that to respond to the problem is necessary to have a basic social safety net capable of responding, but also with resources that address the specific needs of these people (for example, lemonade mouth trailer the situation of homeless people lemonade mouth trailer with disabilities, or convalescent after an illness). In addition, we must continue making visible this cause and fighting discrimination, prejudice and barriers everyday. We know we can not do it alone, you need a shared commitment of everyone, citizens, businesses and social partners.
