CEWH Lunchtime learning: Ngā Ara ki te Kāinga - Understanding Barriers and Solutions to Women’s Homelessness in Aotearoa

Please join the Coalition to End Women’s Homelessness for our next Lunchtime Learning webinar: 
Ngā Ara ki te Kāinga – Understanding Barriers and Solutions to Women’s Homelessness in Aotearoa

Date: Monday 3 November
Time: 12–1pm
Location: Online | Free

Researchers Tanita Bidois and Callum Sleigh will share key findings and insights from Ngā Ara ki te Kāinga, launched by CEWH in December 2024.

The research report shows that 50% of people experiencing homelessness in Aotearoa are women, and that their health and housing needs as women are not often being met. It also documents the disproportionate impact on wāhine Māori, who are over one third of women experiencing homelessness, single mothers, and - increasingly - older women.

In this webinar Tanita and Callum will explore women’s interactions with government agencies, mental health services, and the justice system, highlighting why women’s homelessness often remains hidden in plain sight. Tanita and Callum will also discuss the urgent need for gender-responsive housing and homelessness policies.

With sincere thanks to Tanita Bidois and Callum Sleigh for sharing their time and valuable insights.
