Abstract
ROMERO-PLANA, Virginia. The street situation in northern Mexico: notes for a three-dimensional model of social intervention. Prospectiva [online]. 2023, n.35, e20812274. Epub Dec 22, 2022. ISSN 0122-1213. https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i35.12274.
The paper proposes a three-dimensional model of social intervention for the homeless population, based on a case study carried out in Hermosillo, Sonora (Mexico) with deported ex-migrant men. A final reading of the diagnostic research proposed the conformation of three reflective constructs from which to understand homelessness: the life trajectory of older adult men in their role as ex-migrants, the socio-family disconnection after the migratory process and deportation, and the socio-structural helplessness based on the lack of social policy and social exclusion. Extreme poverty is a combination of low income, lack of human development, and social exclusion. According to this definition read from the perspective of Human Rights, the theoretical framework on which the analysis of the results is based and from which the transformation model is projected is approached from two axes: a) multidimensional poverty and integral development and b) inequality and social justice. The social transformation model incorporates subjects in their process of change and their environments from three dimensions: 1) individual, 2) socio-family and 3) socio-structural. The basic aspects that can be addressed in this model, and from which the intervention objectives are made, are the following: life projects, emotional health, job opportunities, socio-family networks, gender equality, and social awareness.
