World Social Forum - Tunis, 28 March 2015
1 April 2015 by Collective
Starting from a proposal issued by an initial group, we as organisations, social movements, trade unions, and other groups and individuals present in Tunis for the World Social Forum shared our analysis, experiences and perspectives around health and social protection.
We focused on issues related to the social determinants of health such as poverty, working conditions, education, gender inequality, and access to water. We also discussed the growing marketisation of health, healthcare and social protection worldwide.
Our discussions show that the crisis in health and social protection is in fact the consequence of the global neoliberal politics:
Health is life in all its dimensions: physical, mental, social, environmental. It is a fundamental and inalienable human right and a common social good for all humanity; it requires that people can live in peace all over in the world and free from occupation.
Alternatives are urgent and necessary!
Inspired by our experiences, we believe that the time is now for collective action!
