Women and their right to adequate housing 2012, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Legislation and gender-sensitive housing law, policy and programming are only the first step. Even where good laws and policies are in place, an important challenge remains in translating them fully into practice. Unfortunately, in terms of implementation, progress has remained slow. Indeed, during the consultation process for this report, it became clear that even in places where good laws exist, discriminatory social and customary norms continue to hinder the enjoyment of women's right to adequate housing.
