Report of The National Children’s Consultation on Their Right To Housing

A consultation with about 40 children who have faced violations of their housing rights in some form or the other was organized on 13th November 2006 from 9 – 12 am on the National platform of India Social Forum in New Delhi. These were the children who have faced forced evictions; development induced displacement, children living in inadequate housing conditions as well as homeless/street children. For this consultation, YUVA with its experience in the field of housing rights decided to get all the partners who have been a part of the struggle for housing rights of the poor and displaced. This is a report of the consultation and the rich and heartfelt exchanges.
