Gender Excerpts:

 

46.Vulnerable groups, in particular women, are the most affected by the lack of adequate and affordable housing solutions, and are frequently those who suffer the most from the centrifuge effect that expels them to the outskirts of cities, and into suburbs or slums without basic infrastructure and services.

 

60.Lending practices may discriminate against particular groups such as nomads, minorities, migrants and women. Discrimination related to adequate housing may be the result of discriminatory laws, policies, and measures; inadequate zoning regulations; exclusionary policy development; exclusion from housing benefits; denial of tenure security; lack of access to credit; limited participation in decision-making processes related to housing; or lack of protection against discriminatory practices of private actors.

 

71.The impact of eviction and homelessness on women and children can be particularly devastating, as in the reality of living in constant fear of being evicted. Homelessness has a particularly negative impact on both groups. The discrimination faced by women can lead to a potentially higher impact on them from eviction and homelessness.
