Let's change Murcia has submitted a motion to the Plenary this Thursday urging the City to design a map of poverty by districts and districts of the municipality, in order to carry out actions that follow fair criteria of distribution of resources.
The councilor who signed the initiative, Margarita Guerrero, explained that the Region of Murcia is, according to the Spanish Committee of UNICEF, the fourth community with the highest child poverty and the penultimate with lower levels of educational equity, according to a report Presented this year by Save the Children.
In the current context, it would be useful to know, for example, which are the districts with the highest energy poverty in the municipality so that social workers, with the most accurate and accurate information about the reality of each neighborhood, intensify their work there .
The analysis, explained the training, should be made in relation to indicators updated periodically by the Statistics Service that serve to establish fair distribution criteria, allowing to have the necessary tools to design a public policy as equitable as possible and aimed at To alleviate existing inequalities within the municipality.
It should also be remembered that the Region is among the autonomies in which energy poverty affects more households, a phenomenon that could be related to the premature death of more than 7,000 children per year according to the Spanish Association of Environmental Sciences .
