Introduction

The massive demonstrations of March 8^TH on the International Women's Day, highlighted the need to move forward on measures that promote gender equality. This objective is particularly relevant in the field of social rights, such as the right to housing.

On the first afternoon of this Conference, the following questions will be addressed; What does "urbanism with a gender perspective" mean? What practical measures can be adopted to include the gender perspective into the design of our cities? What examples can we find in other local and regional administrations in this regard? Professionals from the institutional, academic and civil society sectors will provide examples that would allow to focus the debate on practical measures.

On the second and last afternoon of the Conference, the questions to be addressed are; What diagnosis and instruments exist to incorporate the gender perspective? How to include the gender perspective into territorial planning from public administrations? What analyzes are carried out by leading civil society organizations in the defense of the right to housing?
