[6.1] Nearly 20,000 people displaced in Paris ahead of Olympics, community groups report — thestar.com

Nearly 20,000 people were displaced in the Paris region ahead of the Olympics, according to a coalition of over 100 community groups. They reported that 19,526 individuals were evicted from informal housing between April 2023 and September 2024.

The report claims these displacements are linked to Olympic preparations, with a 41% increase in eviction operations compared to the same period in 2021-2022. It also noted that over 4,500 minors were among those affected.

French officials have not responded to the coalition's estimates. They maintain that eviction rates have not increased due to the Olympics and that alternative housing was offered to those displaced. The coalition is now calling for a reevaluation of the Olympic hosting model.

Abortion rights advocates have won all seven measures since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Currently, 13 states enforce total bans, while others have strict limits, but the number of abortions has slightly increased due to pills and travel assistance.
