Joint Report: Gender and the Housing Emergency

This is a joint report by Shelter Scotland and Engender exploring the experiences and impact of Scotland’s housing emergency in relation to women’s equality. This report shines a spotlight on the gendered aspects of the housing emergency by showing how women’s experiences of housing and homelessness differ from those of men. It includes a series of recommendations to address women’s inequality in access to safe, secure and affordable housing, and to ensure women are able to realise their housing rights.
