Newsletter: The Key to Maintaining Relationships with Women – The Poverty Problem Keeping Women Out of Housing

The Key to Maintaining Relationships with Women

Whether they are with a partner, family members, close friends or colleagues, long-term relationships are all maintained in distinct ways. If you know someone long enough, you discover what you mean to each other and what you enjoy doing together.

Physical distance is a factor that significantly complicates relationships, and recent research from Oxford University reveals that the key to maintaining these kinds of relationships may be different for women and men.



The Poverty Problem Keeping Women Out of Housing

Women’s poverty, resulting from the gender wage gap, the pink tax and higher medical expenses throughout a woman’s life, is a pervasive crisis preventing women from creating stable living conditions.
