📣 A new joint statement from the Council of Europe - European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights - Equinet, European Network of Equality Bodies - ENNHRI Collaborative Platform on Social and Economic Rights is here!   With the High-Level Conference on the #EuropeanSocialCharter taking place later this week in Vilnius, we urge participating leaders to address pressing challenges exacerbated by recent crises. These include economic inequality, housing shortages, and social disparities.  Key steps for states to reaffirm their commitment to social rights - as guaranteed by the European Social Charter – include:   📍 Ratifying the Revised European Social Charter and accepting its additional provisions. 📍 Recognising housing and protection against poverty as fundamental rights. 📍 Transforming commitments into action to align with Charter requirements. 📍 Embracing the collective complaints procedure for better governance. 📍 Enhancing cooperation among stakeholders, including NHRIs, Equality Bodies, and civil society.   Let's together ensure that #SocialRights are at the heart ❤️ of our response to contemporary challenges.   👀 Read the full statement below 👇 and here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCmqpNEr #SocialJustice #HumanRights

Soziale Menschenrechte sind für die Sicherung der Menschenwürde unverzichtbar. Die Bundesregierung sollte daher die noch ausstehenden Artikel der Revidierten Europäischen #Sozialcharta ratifizieren, insbesondere die Artikel 30 und 31, und wirksamere Maßnahmen zum Schutz aller Menschen vor #Armut und sozialer #Ausgrenzung ergreifen. Dies ist vor dem Hintergrund steigender Lebenshaltungskosten und des Erstarkens rechtsextremer Kräfte umso wichtiger. https://www.institut-fuer-menschenrechte.de/menschenrechtsschutz/europarat/menschenrechtsabkommen-des-europarats/umsetzung-esc-in-deutschland

Social rights are essential for the protection of human dignity. The German government should therefore accept the outstanding Articles of the Revised European Social Charter, in particular Articles 30 and 31, and take more effective measures to protect all people from poverty and social exclusion. This is crucial in view of the cost-of-living crisis and the rise of the extreme right.
