Women and their right to adequate housing 2012, para. 60
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Adequate legal enforcement also requires that all human rights violations, such as forced evictions, disinheritance, violence against women carried out within the context of eviction be vigorously investigated, prosecuted and punished. Police units operating at the local level should be adequately supported to assist women with issues stemming from violations or potential violations of their right to adequate housing, such as property grabbing and domestic violence, including the removal of perpetrators from the home and the recovery of stolen property.
