Unique Challenges Faced by Inuit Women in Urban Centres Regarding Housing and Homelessness

Project Description

Pauktuutit initiated this project to better understand the unique challenges related to housing and homelessness for Inuit women in urban centres. This work sought to explore how urban Inuit women deal with housing challenges in southern Canadian urban centres and to understand the unique obstacles they encounter. The research was conducted following the principles of Inuit Qaujimuituqangiit, Pauktuutit’s Inuit‑Specific Gender‑based Analysis Plus (GBA+) framework, intersectionality, and distinctions-based understandings.
