When the person

be: without rights.. -home, -dignity,
-job, -health,
-wellness.
These persons remain
as a constant challenge and a
troubling sign not only of the economic crisis, but also of
values
crisis which underpin our
democracies - values such as the social cohesion,
the solidarity based on
respect of individual rights, the equitable access to resources and
services.
