Protecting housing rights preventing evictions

---

This publication explores the protection of housing rights with a particular focus on preventing forced evictions as a critical human rights concern. It highlights the international legal standards that recognize adequate housing as a fundamental right and outlines the obligations of states to respect, protect, and fulfill this right. The discussion includes case studies of eviction practices, the social and economic consequences for affected communities, and the role of legal, institutional, and community-based mechanisms in safeguarding housing rights. Emphasis is placed on strategies to strengthen policy frameworks, promote participatory decision-making, and ensure access to justice for vulnerable groups. By addressing both structural causes and immediate remedies, the publication provides guidance for governments, civil society, and international actors committed to securing the right to adequate housing and preventing violations through unlawful evictions.
