Youth Homelessness: How to survive the streets when you are under 25

In this episode of Europe Talks Back host Juli Simond tells the story of Mohammed Bouzghaia, a resilient young man who has faced some of life's most formidable challenges head-on. Born and raised in Morocco, Mohammed chose to set sail for Spain, a trip riddled with adversity, with the hope of a brighter future. He found himself surviving alone on the streets of Barcelona where he faced language barriers and homelessness. His determination, coupled with his optimistic spirit, have allowed him to persevere. Mohammed’s life ordeal provides invaluable insights into the ongoing issue of youth homelessness in Europe.

Homelessness isn't just about lacking a roof, it's about the loss of dignity and opportunities. - Mohammed Bouzghaia
