Question 7820 — poverty

Summary

Ms. Marie Mesmeur alerts the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the alarming situation of children forced to live on the street. In the MP's constituency, in Rennes, several associations and groups, particularly of parents, are outraged and are mobilizing in the face of the increase in the number of homeless children and families. Due to a lack of accommodation solutions, 24 children are currently sleeping in nursery and elementary schools in the city, while 44 others live in makeshift camps, in tents, in undignified conditions, particularly in the parks of Bréquigny and Maurepas. This deeply shocking situation goes against human dignity, but also against France's international commitments and in particular the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, which guarantees every child the right to shelter, protection and decent living conditions. This local observation is part of a broader national problem. The 2024 barometer from UNICEF and the Federation of Solidarity Actors reports 2,043 homeless children in France, thus underlining the urgency of strengthening reception capacities and emergency accommodation systems. In this context, she wishes to know the concrete measures that the Government intends to implement to put an end to this shameful situation and guarantee, throughout the territory, effective respect for the fundamental rights of the child. Specifically, she asks him to intervene urgently for the 57 children affected by this situation in the city of Rennes.
