CORRELATION
EUROPEAN NETWORK SOCIAL INCLUSION & HEALTH
Many persons in the EU do not have access to basic health and
social services. This poses a threat to their own health and
well-being and to public health in general. They live permanently
or temporarily outside mainstream society, because they belong
to a stigmatised group (ethnic minorities, sex workers), engage
in unaccepted risk behaviour (drug users) or find themselves
in risk situations (youngsters experimenting with party drugs),
in which they cannot appeal to the protecting safety structures
of mainstream society. They cannot be identified as one group
or category of people, but they share a combination of the following
characteristics: homelessness, stigmatised (risk) behaviour,
low social economic status, social exclusion, illegal judicial
status, mobility, migration, part of an ethnic minority group.
Many of them are involved in drug use and sex work.
