Indian activist urges global recognition of housing as a human right, citing 1.6 billion people in inadequate housing and highlighting India’s progress in affordable, women-centered housing.
At the UN Human Rights Council, Indian activist Neha urged global recognition of housing as a fundamental human right, noting over 1.6 billion people live in inadequate or insecure housing.
She highlighted disproportionate impacts on women, persons with disabilities, migrants, and marginalized groups, stressing that housing insecurity worsens poverty and limits access to health, education, and economic opportunity.
Calling for rights-based policies ensuring affordability, security, accessibility, and climate resilience, she cited India’s housing program delivering over 50 million homes, with 70% of rural homes registered in women’s names, and the integration of essential services like water and electricity.
She emphasized the need for international cooperation, data-driven approaches, and community involvement to ensure effective implementation.
