Paragraph
Women and their right to adequate housing 2012, para. 13
- Paragraph text
- In addition the global financial crisis emerged as a key cross-cutting theme during the e-consultation. Within this context, cuts to public housing programmes are having a devastating impact for women in many countries across the world. For example, in 2011, the United States cut US$2.8 billion from its federal housing programmes. These cuts to public housing programmes have hit women, and in particular ethnic minority women, women single heads of households, and women with disabilities, the hardest.
