Women and their right to adequate housing 2012, para. 43
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- In order for housing to be adequate it must be situated so as to allow access to employment options, health-care services, schools, childcare centres and other social facilities. However, if these resources are effectively unavailable to women due to gender-based discrimination or lack of gender sensitivity, they are of no practical benefit to women and women remain just as excluded as if those resources were not present. Therefore, housing law, policy and programming must assure that women and girls are also able to benefit on an equal basis from these community resources, such that they are adequate, available and fully accessible to women and girls.
