Take a Stand Against Wrongful Eviction

Sponsored by: Care2

For the more than 1.6 billion people suffering from some sort of shelter deprivation in the world, that future is bleak. Without access to adequate shelter, clean water or sanitation, upwards of 10 million people die each year from preventable diseases. Many of them are infants. In some parts of the world, entire families face forced eviction from property or land they own.

Secure tenure signifies that an individual has protection against eviction from housing or property they rightfully own or rent. Right now, families in many parts of the world are being forced from their homes as a result of harassment, corruption, excessive bureaucracy and discrimination against women and minorities.

Once secure tenure is established, it can break the cycle of poverty by spurring economic development, offering long-term stability for families and reducing conflicts within communities.

Raise your voice today against wrongful eviction, and help those who are trying to break out of poverty.

We need to stop the abuse of power by landlords. Not only are families forced to leave their homes their chances of finding housing after being evicted are slim to none. The eviction process should be more closely regulated to prevent this from continuing to happen to innocent families everywhere.
