Portugal Portugal’s Housing Policy for Roma Violates Social Charter

7 Nov 2011 | roma

‘ERRC’ reports that the European Committee of Social Rights today delivered a decision, finding Portugal in violation of the Revised European Social Charter. The committee said that the “continuing precarious housing conditions for a large part of the Roma community, coupled with the fact that the Government has not demonstrated that it has taken sufficient measures to ensure that Roma live in housing conditions that meet minimum standards” was in breach of Portugal’s obligations under the social charter.
