This round table is organized by the Habitat International Coalition and its Women and Habitat Africa Working Group (WHAWG) to celebrate the UN Habitat’s Urban October. The round table will convene four experts; practitioners, advocates and scholars, to discuss about ways to address urban and gender inequalities, from the perspectives of the right to housing and to the city, as well as economic and digital inclusion.

The panel will feature USF International Fellow, Dr Priscila Izar, who will discuss inclusive cities and gender equality based on their USF-supported research.

"Being approved for the USF International Fellowship proved to be a pivotal moment in my career, offering a much-needed boost of stability and opportunity following the completion of my PhD. It was crucial to have nine months to concentrate on publishing and presenting my work in high-impact journals, during which time I was also able to foster interlocution and consolidate a network of exchange with international urban researchers. The Fellowship has created many positive consequences and opportunities for the development of my career and academic skills, and I am confident that this mark on my professional journey will be very valuable in the long term."

Dr Deborah Fromm, International Fellowship
