The Invisible: People at Risk of Social Exclusion
An analysis of the situation experienced during the pandemic and the responses given will be carried out, from the shared view amongst professionals in the social sector who have lived through the pandemic and from their respective organizations on how to deal with a pandemic and a new social crisis.
You are a professional in the social sector or other sectors (health, labour, education) and for citizens in general
The current situation of the health crisis is also imposing uncertainty, some still stand and great concern on social professionals.
Not having adequate housing, not having a minimum income to meet basic needs, being sick, having been fired, reduced work hours, being a single-parenting, or being in unwanted solitude are many of the situations in which many people find themselves.
Social services in the public administration and third sector organizations have reformulated ways to accompany people, making new services available, or increasing financial support so that they can contribute to providing answers. But also, the capacity of the sector has been reached by the high demand received in the months of lockdown and after.
In the next coming months, we must be able to provide strong, structural, and effective responses to fight poverty and prevent more people from falling into social exclusion, as our society cannot afford to abandon the most vulnerable.
The social sector has been calling for measurements and a long-standing anti-poverty agreement to combat the country's high rate of severe and relative poverty. These measures need to address structural causes, human-rights-based public policies, and consequent long-term investments are needed to reverse the differences going forward.
The current situation of uncertainty needs to reflect on these and other issues related to the model of accompaniment by professionals and the response that both the public administration and the third sector have to put into practice if we want to be better prepared for the more than likely new major social crisis in the upcoming years.
