A ground-level photo of a homeless person sleeping on a flattened cardboard box beneath a graffiti-covered concrete wall. The person is wrapped in a worn blanket, with their face hidden from view. Above them, graffiti reads “Being homeless is not a crime.”
UN experts welcome #UK's decision to repeal the Vagrancy Act, a law that has long criminalised homelessness and rough sleeping in England and Wales.
Nobody should be penalised for not having access to a home.
