In France , President Emmanuel Macron ’s administration has gradually forced thousands of unhoused migrants onto buses, displacing them to smaller towns across France .

From April 2023 to May 2024 , Paris evicted approximately 12,545 people (of which 3,434 were children) from squats in abandoned buildings, tent cities.

A group of approximately 170 unaccompanied, unhoused minors occupied La Maison des Métallos , a 19th-century community cultural center.

They established the squat to demand housing and signal to the city and its residents the high number of public buildings that could be repurposed to shelter.

After several successful eviction defenses and building a movement of support across electoral and community groups, the minors agreed to leave on July 3 after the city committed to their demands.
