Summary of the project
The project aims to address the social issues faced by the Roma and Egyptian minority communities regarding the legalization of their housing. These two minorities encounter numerous obstacles such as lack of information, ongoing discrimination, challenging administrative procedures, and bureaucratic hurdles within public institutions.
