Gender-Based Analysis: Canada and Shelter Winnipeg

gender-based analysis: Anywhere between 30,000 and 200,000 people are homeless in Canada, with another 1.7 million unable to afford adequate, suitable shelter, according to Rabble. Winnipeg in particular has a history of housing shortages and inner-city poverty. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. In 2015 it was estimated that on a given night in the city there were at least 1,400 people experiencing homelessness. Unfortunately, much of the research on homelessness in Canada lacks a comprehensive gender-based analysis. Winnipeg is also home to the largest urban Indigenous population in Canada and poverty rates among the highest in the country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
