Our Human Rights framework
Housing Justice has been developing a human rights framework since 2009.
This, in response to the often appalling conditions rough sleepers live in, as well as to statutory actions taken against the homeless, which we have found, at times, to be gross abuses of their human rights - see the history, left.
Today, Housing Justice works in partnership with a range of human rights organisations, notably:
Our latest project (Spring 2012) aims at highlighting the issues around the basic needs of rough sleepers to access drinking water, public toilets and sanitation, food, shelter and undisturbed sleep. We plan to work with a group of homeless artists and undergraduates of Central St Martin’s School of Art to produce an art exhibition and a film, which will be available online.
