Explore CEWH research Ngā Ara ki te Kāinga – Understanding Barriers and Solutions to Women’s Homelessness in Aotearoa - webinar recording now available
On Monday 3 November, CEWH hosted a Lunchtime Learning webinar introducing CEWH research Ngā Ara ki te Kāinga – Understanding Barriers and Solutions to Women’s Homelessness in Aotearoa.
Researchers Tanita Bidois and Callum Sleigh shared key findings and insights from the research which was launched in December 2024.
The report reveals that over 50% of people experiencing homelessness in Aotearoa are women, whose health and housing needs are often unmet. It also highlights the disproportionate impact on wāhine Māori, single mothers, and increasingly, older women.
Tanita and Callum discussed key insights from the research:
Why women’s homelessness often remains hidden in plain sight.
How women interact with government agencies, mental health services, and the justice system.
The urgent need for gender-responsive housing and homelessness policies.
Ngā mihi nui to Tanita and Callum for generously sharing your time, insights, and commitment to this kaupapa, and to Jo Cribb for facilitating the kōrero and holding space with care.

We encourage you to share this with friends, whānau, colleagues, and peers in the sector.
