Happy European Day of Languages!

With 24 official languages, the EU is united in linguistic diversity 💙

Multilingualism is democracy in action: everyone in the EU can follow the work of their MEPs in any of the 24 official EU languages.

The European Parliament stands in solidarity with the victims of the tragic accident on the Elevador da Glória, their loved ones and the entire community in Lisbon.

The Portuguese and EU flags fly at half mast as Parliament joins Portugal on this national day of mourning.

👉 Europe must not follow this path!

Instead, Europe can pave a better way - by investing in housing, care, dignity, and inclusion. To truly end poverty and homelessness, mental health must be at the heart of EU anti-poverty and housing strategy

#MentalHealth #Rights
@feantsa.bsky.social
these policies push society’s most vulnerable - the real victims of a society that has failed them - further to the margins Let’s face it, this approach does not work But we know what does: Housing First, community-based mental health support, Harm reduction and rights-based care, and Inclusion Europe can PAVE A better way. By protecting the human rights of all people, and Investing in care, housing, and solidarity Find out how The European Union is currently developing an Anti-Poverty Strategy (APS) with a focus on housing. To truly end poverty and homelessness, this strategy must put mental health at its core. Because dignity, housing, and mental well-being go hand in hand.

To tackle the rise in #cholera cases & deaths in #DRCongo, WHO is mobilizing resources for the hardest-hit areas:

WHO extends its gratitude to UNCERF for the vital support in the fight against cholera in North Kivu. A young girl prepares to collect water from Lake Kivu – an essential daily task that carries hidden danger. In North Kivu, where conflict continues to displace communities, unsafe water sources like this remain a major driver of cholera transmission. WHO warns that without access to clean water, the most vulnerable continue to face life-threatening risks.
