VOICED: Vivir en la casa de otro

Ana, an elderly woman, finds herself homeless due to financial struggles and occupies a vacant building in Sevilla with other families. The building's owners are absent, and no one has claimed the property. This situation reflects a broader housing crisis in Spain, where evictions reached a record high in 2011. Many occupants are women supported by the indignados movement, asserting their constitutional right to housing. The building now houses 32 families, each with their own stories of hardship. Spain faces a significant number of vacant homes due to the real estate crisis, and with high unemployment, such occupations may become more common.
