Part of the Earthly Paradise programme of talks.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion exploring feminist approaches to housing and the role they can play in creating more equitable, supportive and inclusive communities for women. Bringing together Tracey Downie from Women’s Pioneer Housing Association, and Emily Wheeler of Furnishing Futures, this conversation will examine the intersections of gender, housing, domestic space and social justice.
Together, our speakers will discuss how housing policy, design and provision can better respond to the realities faced by women, from affordability and security to dignity, wellbeing and belonging. Through their work, they offer practical and imaginative models for building a housing system that works for everyone.
Emily Wheeler is the founder of Furnishing Futures, a London-based charity that creates fully furnished, trauma-informed homes for women and children who have escaped domestic abuse.
