In Pantin, on the outskirts of Paris, we provided unaccompanied minors with medical, psychological, social, and legal support. We also ran a 20-bed shelter to accommodate minors in particularly vulnerable situations and offered financial and logistical support to a 10-bed shelter for girls. In addition, we deployed mobile teams to ensure access to health care for people living on the streets or in unsafe buildings.
In Marseille, we scaled up our assistance to unaccompanied minors. As well as providing multidisciplinary support in our 20-bed shelter, we started conducting medical consultations in squats and camps.
In light of a controversial new immigration bill that further undermines migrants’ and refugees’ rights in France, we publicly alerted the government and health authorities to the dire consequences that restrictions on access to health care have on foreign nationals living in precarious conditions.
