Abstract: The study investigated women's perceptions of their experiences of well-being and resilience in Corane housing in Mozambique, adopting a qualitative, basic and descriptive approach. Initially, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five women, as well as a public workshop to hear women's opinions and a two-day home immersion in a family headed by a woman. The results revealed several limitations faced by women in the Corane housing context. Issues related to durability, acoustics and comfort were identified as significant challenges with regard to the appropriate housing model. In addition, the urban setting of the dwellings showed deficiencies in public facilities, acoustic aspects, public safety, drainage and urban tree planting. Women's socio-economic conditions were also addressed, highlighting constraints related to income generation. An important contribution of the study was the presentation of key solutions and strategies for gender-sensitive housing models in Corane. By considering women's perspectives, these solutions can guide the redefinition of IDP resettlement programs in the future. However, despite the socio-economic opportunities created, cultural issues still limit women's participation in income generation in Corane, often leaving them dependent. While divorced or single women actively seek to become self-sufficient, married women tend to rely more on bartering and donations.
