During the 59th Session of the Commission on Human Rights, UN-HABITAT actively
worked with the Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE), Habitat International
Coalition (HIC), Human Rights Watch (HRW), the Huairou Commission (HC), the
Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) and the UN Special Rapporteur
on Adequate Housing. In addition to presentations on women's equal right to
adequate housing, and work on the next Commission on Human Rights Resolution
on women's land, housing and property rights, discussions were held on coordination
and collaboration between the various organizations dealing with women's equal
rights to adequate housing, land and property. This led to the establishment
of a Working Group on Women's Land and Housing Rights, and an agenda for action
agreed upon.
