Panel 1: Housing for Social Inclusion and Ending Poverty

Focuses on housing as a human right and a foundation for dignity, equity, and social mobility. It highlights policies and practices that address inequality, improve access for marginalized groups, and break the cycle between poverty and inadequate housing.

Guiding questions:

• What approaches have effectively reduced poverty and inequality through housing? 
• How can governments address housing deprivation, particularly in informal settlements and marginalized contexts? 
• What commitments, priority actions and partnerships are needed to accelerate social inclusion, gender equality and poverty reduction through housing?
