The Participation and the Practice of Rights Project (PPR Project) in Belfast has released a new video entitled “North Belfast Takes On the World…” It tells of how four residents from across North Belfast will visit the UN in Geneva, Switzerland, to highlight the failure of government to realize the right to health, housing and play in some of the poorest communities in Northern Ireland. The video was inspired by a recent video produced by NESRI partners May Day New Orleans and Rada Film Group which highlights how public housing residents were shut out of HUD Secretary Donovan’s March visit to New Orleans. PPR has been doing great work around pressuring the government to meet human rights standards in their housing policy and practices. In fact, they’ve created a toolkit to measure the government’s progress using human rights indicators and benchmarks.
