“The Special Rapporteur finds that housing conditions for Indigenous peoples around the world are overwhelmingly abhorrent and too often violate the right to adequate housing,” the report reads.“ are more likely to suffer inadequate housing and negative health outcomes as a result, they have disproportionately high rates of homelessness and they are extremely vulnerable to forced evictions, land-grabbing and the effects of climate change.
“There’s 15 people living in a home that’s the size of a trailer, so of course they have to sleep in shifts when there’s only so much room,” she said.“In a country with more fresh water than anywhere else in the world, 75 per cent of the reserves in Canada have contaminated water, with communities such as Attawapiskat declaring a state of emergency,” it reads.
The report linked a lack of housing as a factor that exacerbates Canada’s ongoing problem of missing and murdered Indigenous women.“Lacking secure, adequate housing, Indigenous women often become the targets of further violence because of their gender and their Indigenous identity,” it says. “The right to housing under international human rights law is something that is legally binding on governments in Canada,” said Farha. “That’s really important because the UN’s DRIP isn’t a legal instrument in the way that the treaty for the right to housing is.”
Line up the member UN countries and have a real close look at the various human conditions they have on display. Social problems are apparent in all countries and Canada is one of, if not the best at addressing them. Go away!
An Indian Band in Northern Alberta chartered a private plane and flew the Chief and Councilors to Edmonton for an Oilers game in a private group. Trip also included all accommodation and meals. Final bill around $150,000. Same band said poor housing on their reserve.
Sure, Trudeau sucks but this is a difficult problem, as the government gives the money, but the tribal chiefs (and other native leaders) determine how it is allocated. Look at how native leaders live (big salaries, houses & cars) as compared to the average indigenous person.
I think Gord (Downie) RIP, is rolling in his grave because of the treatment of First Nations by BlackfaceTrudeau. As for the Useless Nations FuckTheUN
The UN collects how much money and they are broke They probably shouldn’t criticize anyone for anything
We give hundreds of billions to other nations every single year. That is where money goes. If you want to build plumbing on reserves, it will cost way more than towns or large cities, and most reserves, people live on welfare. How are they contributing to better plumbing?
It would be nice to have a national leader that would look after Canadians. i'm so sick of the internationalist. I must say it again we need to build infrastructure & housing here in CANADA and defund international abortions which is costing canadian taxpayers billionsofdollars
This is what happens when the selfish just talk of 'black face' and whether a guy has a licence so they can pretend how intelligent they are. Although a shallow, awful election, many now understand how self-centred many Canadians have become. Anti-globalism is awful ! ! ! ....
If the UN says we should do something we should actually do the opposite!!!
Wow, it is 40 year old news, and now you are concerned. Wow .
