Call for action published in Italian on A Buon Diritto Onlus website, 31 March 2020 – accessible here
The situation in Rome continues to be of absolute emergency for those who are homeless, and even more so amid the full-scale Cover-19 health emergency.
For this reason the organisations are writing again to the Rome authorities to request interventions that can promptly provide answers to these increasingly urgent needs. The appeal is once again addressed to the Mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi, Prefect Gerarda Pantalone, the Assessora Veronica Mammì, the Civil Protection Department of the Capital.
This is a policy document that not only highlights the issues encountered in the Capitoline territory, but suggests viable and sustainable initiatives to protect both professionals and volunteers who offer service in favour of the homeless people. We believe that it is necessary to organise a meeting with the various responsible institutions (Municipality of Rome Capital, Department for Social Policies, Municipalities, Prefecture, Local Health Authorities – ASL) not only to guarantee the exchange of information, but above all to plan common actions for the protection of vulnerable categories, also through the establishment of a steering committee.
