In Madrid, more than 2,800 people are homeless. We see them every day, yet officially they do not exist. Without an address, they simply don’t count: not for the State, not for society, not even in statistics. And without an address, there is no access to basic rights: no help, no healthcare, no vote… no dignity.

We have become so used to their presence that we hardly notice them anymore. They have faded into the urban landscape, when what they truly need is something far more vital: a place on the map.

That is why we created Human Maps: an initiative to restore visibility, identity, and dignity to those who need it most.
