    Event description

    With over 400,000 women over the age of 45 at risk of homelessness, the provision of affordable, long-term housing for women is vital to prevent even more older women from falling into homelessness. On the other hand, younger women are finding it more difficult to secure a foothold in the Australian dream of owning a home.

    This situation has to change, and with the upcoming federal election, now is the time to understand the connection between housing and gender equality; and why without affordable, long-term housing, women will continue to lag behind.

    Join the following panellists as they discuss the issues, both from the personal to the policy level.

    (i) Maggie Shambrook, Housing Older Women, Qld

    (ii) Molly George, YWCA National Housing Director

    (iii) Rachel Ong Viforj, Professor of Economics, Curtin University
