Brazilian cities have a long history of grappling with multiple forms of inequality. They are also places where social movements have fought for the right to decent housing as a way to address the absence or inefficiency of housing policies. Within these housing movements, female leaders have played a prominent role, but this also highlights that women experience inequalities differently than other groups. Therefore, any comprehensive planning approach should seek to address the diverse inequalities experienced by women and incorporate their perspectives and demands. This is crucial for ensuring a more inclusive urban future. The event's objective is to discuss the role of inclusive urban planning in the creation of more sustainable cities, and to delve into the perceptions of female leaders in social movements regarding the right to adequate housing as a tool for developing housing policies.
