💜Women’s Right to the City: Let’s build Caring Cities
On the occasion of International Women’s Day (8 March), civil society organizations and local governments, participating in the Global Platform for the Right to the City -women and girls of all ages, dissidents and backgrounds – launched a global campaign to demand that the matter of living in cities, the everyday life, and thus, care, essential for life reproduction, be integrated into urban planning and policies towards fairer, more diverse, and feminist cities and territories.
🟣 La crisis, el ajuste y el hambre, ¡No son libertad!
🌱We join FIAN calling for the Human Rights of caregivers to be at the center of Care agendas, including vital Food Care work by peasant, indigenous & rural women.
🟠Together with RIPESS, we take a stand against extractivism, colonialism, and the plundering of both goods and people, placing our focus on Care at the center of the Solidarity Social Economy.
From market stalls to city streets, safety is our right! Let’s support women street vendors by ratifying the ILO Convention 190.
Women in informal employment are an essential part of our cities🏙️, communities🤝🏽 & the economy💰
We join their call for a seat at the table & inclusion in local & global policies that impact their livelihoods.

Learning dialogues: Advancing the Right to the City in Africa, Commoning as a Tool for Transformative Collective Action
We invite you to a series of virtual dialogues to share strategies and practices to claim, protect and advance urban commons in Sub Saharan Africa. As a starting point, these dialogues will focus on the potential held for commoning practices linked to housing and land as to foster community organisation and access to housing through non-market based approaches.
Peer Learning Basic Services as Commons. Innovative management betwen local governments and communities
Join us for a peer learning process jointly developed by United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and the Global Platform for the Right to the City (GPR2C) with the aim of fostering exchanges and experience-based discussions around how Local and Regional Governments can engage in and benefit from commoning practices and public-community innovation mechanisms to respond to local challenges, with a particular focus on basic service provision.
“The Right to the City is the right of all inhabitants, present and future, permanent and temporary to use, occupy and produce just, inclusive and sustainable cities, defined as a common good essential to a full and decent life”.
