Privatising the Right to Food: Food Banks in Germany

On March 12, FIAN International will organize a side event at the UN Human Rights Council to discuss human rights problems associated with the boom in German food banks (“Tafeln”) which currently supply food to 1.5 million people in Germany.

An advocacy note, which complements the UPR submission by FIAN Germany, was submitted  to all the Permanent Missions before the United Nations in Geneva, addressing issues related to the right to food in Germany, as presented during the side event “Privatising the right to food: poverty, social exclusion and the boom in food banks in Germany.”
