"We should not put our lives at risk for this profession": Thérèse Bauwens, family host, prepares for a new hunger strike

At 72, the northern and welcoming family Thérèse Bauwens is in danger of going on a third hunger strike again. The France Accueil Familial association gave itself 45 days to obtain a response from the Parliament and the Ministry of Solidarity on improving the working conditions and wages of foster families. In the absence of returns, Thérèse will stop eating at the end of May 2024.
