We’re very pleased to share our new #HousingRightsInPractice report. This shares lessons learned from four years working with local people in Leith to use #HumanRights to tackle poor housing [1/7]

Using a model first developed by @PPR_Org in Belfast, #HousingRightsInPractice supported local people to secure improvements in their housing by advocating for their #RightToHousing and other #HumanRights. [2/7] Quote attributed to UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: “The right to housing should be seen as the right to live somewhere in security, peace <br />
and dignity.”
The report shows how the project had a positive impact on key aspects of people’s #RightToHousing - and their other #HumanRights too. #HousingRightsInPractice [3/7] Quote attributed to Leith resident and project participant: “What I have learned is massive, and it’s not just about housing. If you have an adequate house it reduces your fuel poverty, which means you are not starving or cold, which impacts on health in a positive way.”

The empty streets of the #Edinburgh Old Town. Looks eerie being so quiet, making easy to keep a safe space whilst out for walk. The city awaits your return. #SocialDistancinguk @edcentrallib @OrkneyLibrary @ShetlandLibrary @natlibscot @EdinCulture || @PaulHenni @LynnHenni ImageImageImageImage
@edcentrallib @OrkneyLibrary @ShetlandLibrary @natlibscot @EdinCulture @PaulHenni @LynnHenni A few more from our daily exercise / occasional food shopping. Grateful we can get out for a bit, but limiting our time and keeping a safe distance. #StayHome #KeepASafeDistance #Edinburgh @edinburghcastle @edinburghpaper @darkedinburgh || @LynnHenni @PaulHenni ImageImageImageImage
