YES TO STOPPING
HATE CRIMES
AGAINST
HOMELESS PEOPLE

“I was beaten up. The bullies left so cool and one was telling another that they had beaten a “vagabond”. Dioni, victim of an aporophobia aggression.”

Dioni,

47% OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF A HATE CRIME. THE PENAL CODE MUST BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO INCLUDE APOROPHOBIA AS AN AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCE.

Hate crimes against homeless people are a violation of human rights with a terrible physical and emotional impact on the victims.
