Routes of Care: Building Caring Cities from the Territories

When
From October 29, 2026, ongoing
Where

These reflections will be grounded in feminist and rights-based perspectives, recognizing that the problem is the unequal distribution and its historical assignment to women as a natural and private responsibility.
