Description of event: A workshop on monitoring the human right to adequate housing and land using methodological monitoring tools. To provide an opportunity for learning to use a Toolkit as a problem-solving method for use in monitoring, defending and fulfilling the human right to adequate housing and land. This multi-use Toolkit addresses forced evictions, budgets, womens rights, post-disaster reconstruction, housing and land issues in conflict, policy formulation and other habitat situations. The Toolkit (in English, Spanish, French and Arabic) is a product of the HIC Housing and Land Rights Network (HLRN)
Aim of Activity: The aim of this workshop is to provide training for participants on the most comprehensive and effective ways to monitor violations of the right to adequate housing, which also comprises other auxiliary rights including the right to water, food, and employment.
Expected Outcomes: Our goal is to primarily have participants leave with the necessary background to monitoring. But it is also intended that participants would be strategically capable of starting their own monitoring systems.
