In celebration of International Women's Week (IWW), The Centre for Equality
Rights, The National Association of Women and the Law, The Community-Based
Research Network of Ottawa (CBRNO) and Centre for Research on Community
Services, University of Ottawa is pleased to announce a one day forum:
WOMEN, HOMELESSNESS AND SECURE TENURE: SETTING AN AGENDA
March 9, 2001
8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
Room 209 West Block, House of Commons
Forum Objectives
The reality driving this workshop is the rapidly increasing number of women
experiencing homelessness, eviction, the threat of eviction, or other
threats to security of tenure. Unfortunately, because women, particularly
women with children, cannot, as a rule, live on the streets, their
homelessness is less visible and all too often ignored. The objective of the
workshop is to increase understanding of and develop appropriate strategies
for improving security of tenure for women.
At the end of this workshop participants:
will have deepened their understanding of what secure tenure means, or would
mean, for women;
will have a better understanding of who is working to address issues of
tenure for women in Ontario and Canada, and what specific dimensions of the
issue are, and are not, being addressed;
will have outlined the basic elements of a research and action agenda for
the coming two to three years which will address the need for secure tenure
for women.
Fees: Regular -$150. Academic/Community Agency- $100. Student/Unwaged/ Low
Income- $50.
