October 2019, Call to the World Zero Evictions Days: Working together to defend the Right to Housing and to the City and to protect the Earth 204r2v
Seventy million people around the world are living under threat of eviction, on top of which 280 million are set to be under threat of forced displacement because of climate change: enough is enough!
We are witnessing large-scale migrations from the countryside to cities, from Africa to Europe, from Central America to the United States and across Asia. Evictions and the stripping of homes and territories driven by large banking groups, real estate, extractivism, the constraints inhabitants face in moving away from the historical centres of towns and areas of beauty due to the industry of tourism, the forced displacement of territories due to the dramatic rise in global warming, wars, violence, racism, fundamentalism, gender discrimination and poverty. Women are the first victims.
