FRA Director @sirpa_rautio at the @Ireland2026eu equality data roundtable discussion stressed that the EU doesn't just need more equality data.
It needs a comprehensive, sustainable & trusted equality data ecosystem that turns evidence into action. And FRA plays a key role here.

Yesterday I joined @FEANTSA & @UNHumanRightsEU to talk about what the EU can do to end child homelessness & make housing more affordable for all.
I also had productive meetings with the European Commission & at the European Parliament.

Yesterday, @UNHumanRightsEU & @FEANTSA hosted a #HumanRightsTalk on ending child homelessness in Europe.
Discussions underscored that child homelessness undermines children's rights to housing, education & health, and requires rights-based solutions.

I respect the commitment of the Flemish authorities to the protection/promotion of the local/national language, but the policy, when applied in the context of state aid for housing, may in practice lead to social exclusion & geographical segregation🇧🇪 ⚫️🟡 brusselstimes.com/2268501/fl…

We are living in critically dangerous times for the international human rights system, directly under attack by governments and political and economic actors all around us. We must use the resorts of international law to promote access to housing as a matter of human rights.

Today we put forward the 1st EU framework to fight housing exclusion and #homelessness.👇
