Bring ethnic recognition to Latin Americans in Newham
Recognise Latin American people so that they have political participation and access to services In Newham.
Why is this important?
Although Latin Americans haven't achieved recognition in our borough of Newham, the community has been recognised in 4 other boroughs Islington, Hackney, Lambeth and Southwark.
Because they're not recognised as an ethnic group in Newham, Latin Americans lack access to health services; 1 in 5 aren't registered with a GP, and only 4 out of 10 have been to a dentist in the UK.
Furthermore, the lack of regulations of the cleaning and catering sectors mean that many Latin Americans experience extremely poor working conditions.
