The National Housing Council’s Neha Review Panel has spent the last year collecting evidence and testimony from across the country, reviewing Canada’s duty to uphold the right to housing for women, Two-Spirit, Trans, and gender-diverse people including testimony from BCSTH and Women’s Shelters Canada. This has culminated in the Panel delivering summary and recommendation reports to Minister Robertson on Monday, November 24. Through the right to housing legislation, the Minister must respond within 120 days, publicly, in the House and Senate. November 25 is a meaningful day for this call to action—the beginning of the International 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and just following National Housing Week.
