Women’s Housing Rights

Women’s housing rights encompass the legal and social entitlements women have regarding access to safe, affordable, and adequate housing. These rights aim to combat discrimination that women often face in housing markets, including issues like eviction, lack of ownership, and homelessness. Women's housing rights advocate for equal treatment in renting, purchasing, and securing housing regardless of marital status, income, or domestic circumstances. Ensuring these rights fosters gender equality and empowers women by providing stability, security, and a foundation for economic independence and community involvement.
