Campus Law Centre, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi in association with Centre for Environmental Law Education, Research and Advocacy (CEERA), at the National Law School of India University, Bangalore under the aegis of the Chair on Urban Poor and the Law, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India is organizing one day VIRTUAL NATIONAL SEMINAR on “AFFORDABLE SHELTERS FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN DELHI” on 23rd July 2022 (Saturday)
Thematic Background
“Women and children who are homeless experience particular forms of violence or are more
vulnerable to them. The lack of access to medical services for homeless women, owing to their
status, has a disproportionate impact, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth. Many
homeless children and women suffer from severe malnutrition.”
—UN General Assembly, Human Rights Council .
Homelessness is a profound assault on dignity, social inclusion, and the right to life. A home is not just a physical structure like a shelter to protect one from extreme weather conditions and provide comfort- but it also has legal and social dimensions. A home provides identity, a sense of belonging and emotional well-being. Homelessness is the most isolating, destructive, and often violent experience and the homeless are the most vulnerable and excluded section of
our society. Amongst this vulnerable group, homeless women and children are even more vulnerable and juxtaposed to multiple risk factors of staying on the streets. Acknowledging the complexity and urgency of the issue at hand, research papers are invited from stakeholders working in the field of ensuring the rights of women and children.
