The aim of 17 October is to put the victims of social exclusion in the light of the spotlight. It is International Day against Poverty, a day when people with scarce resources are remembered. Awareness sessions will be held in Euskal Herria, in which different agents will focus on people affected by poverty.

Donostia-San Sebastián’s Poverty Zero platform will work on migrant women and, on 17 October, a number of activities will be carried out. This platform consists of 21 associations and social movements, as well as the Coordination of Development NGOs of the Basque Country, which brings together another 79 Basque Government Foreign Development Organizations.

The poverty rate has not increased, on the contrary, it has decreased. But in a hearing in Pamplona, Caritas has warned that residents living with the legal system may have serious difficulties in dealing with a new one crisis.De made, half of the 103,000 inhabitants who suffer the exclusion in Navarre (16% of the population of Navarre) are occupied. In addition, it has provided more information on the situation of exclusion in Navarre. According to the published data, 14,000 people are in the most serious situation, with the population aged between 30 and 44 being the most affected by exclusion.

Proposals to cure the problem

The associations denounced that in the presentation of the actions of Poverty Cero, the human rights of millions of people in poverty are violated “without measure”, adding that “the majority are women”. In view of this situation, they have made proposals to deal with them. The associations have called, inter alia, for the closure of detention centres for foreigners for minors.

A demonstration will be held in Bilbao on Thursday, with the participation of various social bodies, neighbourhood groups and trade unions. On Sunday, 20 November, the associations will organise a cycling march in Donostia-San Sebastian as a symbol of the fight against the pobreza.En November another workshop, a film marathon, will be organised. Poverty Zero has pointed out that all these symbolic actions are a sign of the fragility of the system: “The shortcomings of our social structure, which does not take into account the care needs of societies, are evident.”
