Women are saying they're discriminated against when it comes to searching for home.
A midlands woman is speaking out about living in insecure accommodation.
New figures show 40% of women lived in unsafe housing conditions before securing social housing.
Co-operative Housing Ireland surveyed women member tenants to help better understand the journey women go through when trying to find a place to live.
3 in 10 women say they experienced discrimination or exclusion when searching for housing, while 90% reported a positive uplift in their mental wellness when they finally had a place they could call home.
