DIARIO DE SEVILLA (03/11/1910) - MJ BARRIGA, ULLA AINHOA
Night falls in Seville. The dark low temperature while it takes place in the city's first homeless count. The organization promotes the voices, which works hand in hand for Development and Solidarity for Human Rights. Looking to have a touchdown to make a particular global census of people sleeping in the street and to prepare a report and make proposals to government agencies. 90 people responded to the call to search for dividing the city homeless on 20 routes.

Voices is formed by a group of volunteers who joined in 2007 to protest that were certified bars in public spaces without providing alternatives to people who occupied those spaces at night. Since then, Voices, has moved for the rights of this group of people that life circumstances have led them to homelessness.

not observed a homogeneous profile among people who have undergone some process of social uprooting finished them leading to homelessness. Gone are stereotypes that pointed to the homeless and people in middle age and alcohol problems. Walking through the streets and talking to those affected can be seen that there is nothing further from reality. There are several factors that modify this profile, such as immigration or crisis, without mental illness, many people who are exposed to sleep rough have serious psychiatric problems or just having them to live in that situation.

What drives someone to live on the street? Why many do not seek alternatives to the situation of helplessness? These and other questions are answered only if it is understood that a loop of circumstances can lead people to a state of exhaustion which they lose the desire to change his life. Family breakdown, financial problems, one thing leads to another and before you know are in the street with his clothes rags and suspicious looks from people. At this situation, Who is going to employ? Enter a cycle of hard-sac in which it is easiest to let go and let the hours pass, be a thousand sunsets waiting to anything and anyone in the solitude of the street. Soledad

sometimes interrupted by violence, so many homeless people are hidden to protect themselves. A surveillance camera at the door of a bank, or a glass window to break in a given time and the alarm sounds are good reasons to feel more protected in the dark of night.

count appears in full Antonio, a writer of poetry that preserves their nights in a corner of Constitution Avenue. Opposite the cathedral, the Portuguese created his poems in a notebook he kept as a treasure. He traveled to Sevilla for five years because her marriage had broken down and wanted to change working at the Fair of Seville. That flight was cut short and what would be a good job at first ended in a parking office. "There are things you can learn," Antonio reads his poetry, but "there are others that can live." Has chosen to learn and live the life from its harsher aspects. When asked what she would ask if I could, replied that underpants, socks and a book. Antonio is happy and does not want a roof for shelter at night and warmer in the cold winter. Tan sólo quiere unos calzoncillos, unos calcetines y un libro, porque tal y como lee le gusta “mirar la luna, observar las estrellas” desde esa esquina.

Es sólo un caso más en las calles de esta gran ciudad. Frente al Teatro de la Maestranza, esperando como si aún no hubieran abierto las puertas para la próxima obra, está Francisco. Con aspecto de galán, aguarda sentado a que pasen las horas, amanezca y abran las puertas de la biblioteca. Ahí es donde pasa todo el día un licenciado en Ciencias Económicas que lleva tres años en la calle y para quien la lectura es una vía de escape. Puesto al día en todas las noticias de la prensa, mantiene una interesante conversación sobre the latest play or narrative Bolaños Vargas Llosa, keeping for themselves the harsh stories that led to the street.

Advancing in this particular census of homeless people is found that many of these people do not come in classic profiles, each day facing this difficult situation from the marginalization, even rejecting the current system themselves. It is also not consider these people as mere numbers, but at least, and that's the claim of Voices, yes sensitize citizens to bring down barriers of prejudice and in most cases prevent head up these people who had a conventional lifestyle but eventually received a severe coup that toppled them.
