Direito à moradia: a feminização do déficit habitacional brasileiro e seu agravamento pela emergência climática atual

Abstract

The study examines the worsening of the Brazilian housing deficit from the perspective of gender inequality, considering the impacts and effects of the imminent climate emergency. The main objective of this research is to analyze the phenomenon of the feminization of the housing deficit, together with the high vulnerability faced by low-income women, particularly black and indigenous women, due to the scarcity of adequate housing and the absence of specialized and effective public policies in the problem in question. In this way, it is justified by the extreme urgency of linking climate justice with the guarantee of the right to housing, especially in view of the disproportionality of the effects of environmental disasters and climate change that mostly affect populations already vulnerable by inequalities and state helplessness. The hypothesis highlighted is the structural limits faced by marginalized and vulnerable women, which make it difficult to overcome the precarious conditions in which they live. The theoretical framework used was based on the doctrines of Constitutional Law, Civil Law and Human Rights, data and information obtained by research institutes and international organizations, Climate Justice and certain housing policies. The resulting reasoning highlighted the correlation between social, gender, and race inequalities with the housing deficit, thus reinforcing the need for integrated actions to mitigate such problems, especially specific public policies capable of promoting decent and sustainable housing for women. The conclusion determined the importance of an intersectional approach and greater female participation in decision-making and power spheres, in order to be able to solve the problem in the Brazilian context
