Education
All children have the right to education. Cuts to the education system or to learning support, such as speech therapy, affect children’s future opportunities. And yet, education is often the way out of poverty. Those who are less educated tend to suffer more from the consequences of the crisis than those with a higher level of education.

More and more families in Marseille rely on second-hand goods and clothes in order to get by. There are nice things. I bought my mum’s birthday present there.
