REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ARTICULATIONS
The Network participates in spaces of regional and international articulation, such as the Huairou Commission, a network of networks whose objective is strengthening women’s organizations to promote sustainable communities and uniting forces for the fulfillment of governments’ commitments to women. The Network also forms part of the Marcosur Feminist Articulation, a space made up of diverse regional networks that proposes consolidating a line of thinking to potentiate women’s political participation in processes of regional integration and in defense of their rights. The Women and Habitat Network also participates in regional and international campaigns that push for the fulfillment of social, economic, and cultural rights of all citizens, with particular attention to women’s as yet unmet rights.
