"This study was undertaken within the framework of the United Nations Housing Rights Programme - A joint initiative of UN-HABITAT and the OHCHR ... The report provides a global overview of the housing and related living conditions of indigenous peoples and an assessment of the extent to which indigenous people's housing rights are recognized and implemented. Where possible and relevant, the study focuses on the experiences of indigenous women, who often bear the brunt of poor housing conditions, and includes a gender perspective." (Quoted from paper)
