From 16 to 20 March, the Observatory on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Observatori DESC) based in Barcelona organized one of a series of regional consultations on women and adequate housing for the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing. The regional consultation, covering Mediterranean countries (two-day training and a two-day regional civil society consultation), gathered testimonies of grassroots women, with an estimated 20-25 participants from the region (Algeria, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey).
