CAMPAIGN IDENTITY CONTEST!
THE CAMPAIGN
Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action (India), the Four Slum Regional Network (Thailand), the Nairobi People’s Settlement Network (NPSN), Ekta Parishad (India), Union National dos Moradias Popular (Brazil), the European Anti Poverty Network, the International Alliance of Inhabitants, and Dignity International are preparing to launch a campaign on Dignity for all in October 2009.
The campaign will focus on pushing governments to respect, protect and fulfill the rights of people in urban and rural areas whose realities are currently being ignored by the state. These are people, families and communities that are either not taken into account by public policy or deliberately under attack by state or non state actors with the support of the state. The specificities of each community may differ from country to country, but for the most part they are:
• Landless farmers
• Communities in informal or “illegal” settlements
• Forest dwellers and workers
• Displaced communities
• People unable to access basic social services
• People in the informal economy, with precarious work
• Homeless people
• Undocumented people
• Roma, gypsies and travelers
• People with very low income
• Discrimination is the underlined cause of violation for these groups.
Because they are poor, considered illegal, or occupying land illegally, because they do not fit in the state’s structure of life and work, they are systematically ignored or persecuted. This campaign is thus going to call attention to these groups and the violations they are victims of as a result of their way of life, and socio economic status.
