“We closed one of the worst years in recent history of Andalusia with 38% of the population in situations of exclusion and poverty and a state of Emergency Housing. The people feel adrift without a government that can be corrected, or at least alleviate the difficult economic and social situation. ” With this hardness starts the annual report of the Pro Human Rights Association of Andalusia presented yesterday at a press conference Valentín Aguilar, regional coordinator of the platform.
The data collected leave no room for doubt and little room for hope: 25% of the Andalusians, about 2.2 million people living in social exclusion, with more than a million in exclusion severe. The report highlights that 46.4% of households Andalusians have serious difficulties in making ends meet, 10 points more than the Spanish average (36.7%).
According to the association complaint in this report on human rights violations in Andalusia, the rate of poverty and exclusion in the region is 38.3%, the second highest in Spain.
The APDHA warning in its report that since 2007 has tripled people living on the street, which is aggravated by “the recent municipal ordinances of Seville and Cordoba, who commit the nonsense of fine a person living on the street and being poor, “said the coordinator of the report.
The introduction of universal basic income and a law of social inclusion were prescriptions proposed by the APDHA to alleviate the problem of poverty and social exclusion in Andalusia where the situation is particularly serious of immigrants in Andalusia. In this regard, Aguilar criticized these people “have no access to social rights such as social wage or price subsidies nursery schools and soup kitchens”.
The health care in prisons has also been one of the highlights of the report, with 5% of prisoners suffering from tuberculosis, a hundred times more than the general population according to WHO, and with ” doctor for every 162 prisoners, while there is a guard for every five prisoners, “explained the association.
On prostitution, the findings of the APHDA require administrations “that prostitution is recognized as another job, with rights of association, collective bargaining and Social Security.”
