Woman-headed households suffer disproportionately from inadequate housing |
|
This extract from the State of the World’s Cities 2008/2009 report, sheds light on the prevalence of woman-headed households in urban households, which lack more than one “shelter deprivation.” These can relate to a lack of durable housing, overcrowding, problems accessing safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation services, or insecurity of tenure. Approximately 20 per cent of the households in the 160 sample cities in UN-HABITAT’s Urban Indicators database are headed by women.

Summary Report 2007-2009 - Implementation of UN-HABITAT Strategic Policy on Human Settlements in Crisis (SPHSC) |
|
In its 27th Regular meeting of December 6th, 2007,
UN-HABITAT’s Committee of Permanent Representatives
endorsed the “Strategic Policy on Human Settlements
and Crisis” concluding a four year policy development
exercise undertaken in consultation with partners and
discussed during two successive Governing Councils (20
and 21). The process began with the development of the
“Sustainable Relief and Reconstruction Framework” – a
conceptual framework articulating two key principles;
the fi rst - in times of crisis, the highest possible development
gain can be made in the shortest possible timeframe,
and the second - a set of strategic interventions
in an emergency phase, if integrated in sustainable
development goals, can both reduce the period of crisis
and build a platform for early recovery and development.
