European General States

This summit is the result of several meetings between key figures in housing rights, held during the European Social Forum in Athens and later in Bobigny, a suburb of Paris, last February. These meetings gathered politicians, non governmental organisations, unions and researchers to work towards a common goal: “Together, for a summit on housing rights.”
