Women and their right to adequate housing 2012, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- Awareness-raising and public human rights education are critical to the advancement of women's de facto enjoyment of the right to adequate housing, and must take place at multiple levels. Participants in the e-consultation from different countries and regions emphasized this point repeatedly, noting how "there is clearly a need for rights education at all levels of society so that access to adequate housing is understood and accepted as a basic human right" and how "we need information campaigns, not only among women but also among those in power too. … training policymakers, police officers, judiciary on women's land and housing rights is also something gravely lacking …".
