A/HRC/7/16 page 30 (d) Urges States to ensure that relief and rehabilitation efforts are gender-sensitive and culturally appropriate. Women and adequate housing 107. The Human Rights Council must continue to focus on and promote women’s rights to adequate housing, land, property and inheritance. The Special Rapporteur has in his three reports on this issue made a number of recommendations. In addition, he: (a) Urges States to guarantee women’s legal security of tenure over housing and land, including the recognition of women’s equal rights to housing, property and land; (b) Recommends that the Council reflect on the need for a Special Rapporteur on laws that discriminate against women and continue mainstreaming gender and women’s rights in its work;69 (c) Requests more collaborative work between special procedures mandate holders in this regard, including expanding the work on the link between women’s right to adequate housing and the violence they face in and around the home; (d) Urges the Council and the next Special Rapporteur on adequate housing to continue focusing on women and housing, including by: (a) further analysis and recommendations on the policy implications of an intersectional approach; (b) formulating strategies, in collaboration with States and civil society, to close the increasing gap between recognition and implementation of women’s rights to housing and land; and (c) continuing collaborative work with the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women towards a general recommendation on women’s right to adequate housing and land. Children and adequate housing 108. The Special Rapporteur calls upon all States and concerned parties to address the deteriorating global state of housing and homelessness of children around the world and make it a priority concern requiring urgent action. He recommends that the Council: (a) Urge the next Special Rapporteur on adequate housing to continue close collaboration with the Committee on the Rights of the Child, in particular in view of the possible preparation of a general comment which may address issues such as the link between violence and the child’s right to adequate housing, the safety of children at home, and the impact of evictions on children; 69 As discussed at the sixth session of the Human Rights Council.
