STATEMENT :
Poverty, extreme poverty and social inequalities
increasing more and more with all its load of individual
misery and social exclusion that we all know both at
local, regional, national and European level.
Precarious
health, both physical and mental illnesses are the
inevitable corollary that increasingly afflicts a whole
part of the population who, despite being citizens,
cannot take advantage of the same rights recognized to
all the others.
WHY,
in spite of the increase in the number and
diversity of services offered, in spite of the
professionalism and the important training of the
operators, in spite of the increase in social and
health budgets, especially in many metropolis, a
certain number of homeless and mentally ill people -
seem to refuse - preferring to stay on the
street rather than accept the solution proposed by
the services ?
EMERGENCY SERVICES : Are the
interventions integrate social & health, coherent
with real request of person in need, respectful of
the dignity, accessible to marginalized and excluded
people everywhere they are, congruent and
sustainable?
Are
sufficient and adequate services in emergency
centers? |
