Homelessness and Human Rights
Last update date April 2, 2024
What do you imagine when you hear "homeless"? Some people may have images such as "lazy" or "people who are different from themselves". From there, take a step further and think about "Why did you become homeless?" According to a national survey on the actual situation of homeless people, many people worked before living on the street have been confirmed. In addition, it has been confirmed that he has become homeless for various reasons that could happen to anyone, such as being restructuring or being unable to work due to illness. A homeless person is not something that can happen to anyone.
Unfortunately, assaults against homelessness has not gone away. Attacks and harassment have occurred all over the country. What you need is not to rule out. It is to help people in a homeless state to return to society.
In Motoichi, we devise "implementation plan about support of independence of Yokohama-shi homeless" and promote independence support of homeless and try for human rights enlightenment activity.
We believe that each person regards discrimination against homelessness as a problem for society as a whole, correctly understanding it, and supporting people who are socially vulnerable, will lead to a more comfortable and warm society for each of us.
