Sharing this thought-provoking op-ed penned by Victoria Crockford for the Coalition to End Women's Homelessness and published on International Women's Day. We were delighted to collaborate closely and provide insights and information for this insightful piece. Vic makes a compelling call for the need to plan and design solutions with a gender lens. "Every year, we invest over $300m in emergency housing grants, on top of significant investment in other housing subsidies. The last census found that 102,123 people identified as experiencing “severe housing deprivation” - the proxy we use for those living unhoused. Of that group, an internationally high number of 50% identified as women. That’s more than 50,000 people. But we have no plan, policy, or funding that recognises the unique challenges and needs of these women." Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gp9TwYbY Thank you Vic for your timely article. We are stronger when we work together to shape the narrative and drive meaningful conversations so that women's homelessness is visible and addressed. #collaboration #thoughtleadership #housingforall #iwd2024

📌 New Blog Post: The Invisibility of Women's Homelessness International Women's Day is an opportunity to celebrate women, but we also must recognise the challenges that are faced by women. One of the significant challenges to ensuring the needs of women experiencing homelessness is that they can be rendered invisible by a limited understanding of homelessness. This months blog focuses on how the measurement of homelessness bolsters homeless women's invisibility. #SimonBlogs #internationalwomensday #iwd2024 #endhomelessness

"The journey to generational wealth for Black and Latina women is ladened with obstacles, but programs like Family Self-Sufficiency can provide a roadmap for overcoming these challenges, one family at a time. By addressing systemic disparities and leveraging economic resources to help families increase their earning potential and build savings, we can break down those barriers for women to secure a brighter future for themselves and their families." -- Markita Morris-Louis, Esq., CEO of Compass Working Capital, a national nonprofit working to end asset poverty for families with low incomes and narrow the racial and gender wealth gap.

🤸♀️ We don’t talk enough about the gender leisure gap. Whether it’s childcare, caring for older parents or doing more household chores, every week women have less leisure time than men. This has knock-on effects. Leisure time is important for our mental and physical wellbeing, it enhances creativity, and lack of it negatively impacts productivity. Thank you World Economic Forum for this important post highlighting the gender gap in unpaid care work. At 3 Sisters Ventures (“3SV”) Collective we invest in start-ups that are helping to close this gap. We’re particularly interested in Family Tech solutions focusing on care that help make the lives of women easier.  📱Please do get in touch if you're a founder in this space. #familytech #gendersmart
