Dedicated to organizing the slum proletariat and emancipating the unemployed, from economic logics and abusive systems which push us into unemployment, keep us in poverty and dictate our early deaths.

In 2022–23, over half of deaths (56%; around 3,100 deaths) among people with a history of SHS support were potentially avoidable, equating to more than 9 potentially avoidable deaths per day (Supplementary table 2.9).
Throughout 2012–13 to 2022–23, around 43,200 people with a history of SHS support died: around 25,600 males (59%) and 17,700 females (41%) (Figure 2). Almost half (48%) of deaths occurred within 2 years of receiving SHS support, including: 3,100 (7.1%) people who died while support was ongoing 10,900 (25%) people who died up to 12 months after ceasing support 6,700 (15%) people who died between 1 and 2 years after support ended. The remaining 22,600 deaths (52%) occurred more than 2 years since support ceased.
