The final blog in our serious from 2022 looking at the human rights failings in asylum accommodation, looks at the right to housing.
In this part of the series, families report overcrowding, lack of communal space, and lack of access to hygiene, all made worse by the length of their stays
Led by @libertyhq.bsky.social, almost 300 organisations across the UK have come together to defend the vital importance of the European Convention on Human Rights in protecting every person in the UK.

“We feel like we are in prison at the hotel - everything is prohibited”.
As well as the issues of poverty, health, and education detailed in earlier blogs, the residents also talked about the restrictive nature of life in hotels.

In October 2022, members of the #KindEconomy living in asylum hotel accommodation compiled evidence of human rights failings they experienced.
The sixth part in a blog series looking at this evidence, focuses on the ways in which living in these hotels impacted on their dignity.
All three activists are featured in The Rest of the Story, an anthology of ‘untold stories’ from our own corner of the world.
