The "Homeless in Europe" magazine
The "Homeless in Europe" magazine is published three time a year. You can download all issues of this magazine in electronic format from the FEANTSA website. Each issue deals with a particular theme that is topical in relation to homelessness across Europe.
The Summer 2007 issue focuses on the repressive and coercive approach towards people who are homeless. In Europe and in North America, there is a growing trend towards criminalising the activities of homeless people, forced to carry out in public places (eating, sleeping etc.).
