Decriminalization of homelessness and extreme poverty

UN experts, the Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, and the Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier de Schutter, have issued a Call for input on criminalisation of homelessness and extreme poverty.

The purpose of this call was to receive an overview on laws and regulations at national, federal state or local level that may still prohibit or sanction begging, staying, sleeping, eating or undertaking any other life sustaining activities in public spaces.

Maria José Aldanas coordinated FEANTSA’s input to this call. All the submissions to the call are now published here.
