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.

"The USF International Fellowship significantly advanced my career development — both academically and through international collaboration. My six-month residency at the University of Melbourne allowed me to engage deeply with scholars on urban climate resilience and informality, refining my research and expanding my networks. These connections led to joint proposals, seminar invitations, and increased visibility, strengthening my role in interdisciplinary, South–South–North urban research."

Dr Michael Osei Asibey, International Fellowship
