En los últimos meses, desde HIC-AL y la Universidad Iberoamericana se ha fortalecido el trabajo de la Clínica Jurídica sobre Derecho a la Vivienda “María Luisa Marín”, en donde se han impartido sesiones formativas a estudiantes de derecho para dotarles de conocimientos y herramientas para abordar casos de violaciones al derecho a la vivienda adecuada con una perspectiva de derechos humanos, y se han asesorado 8 casos de personas vulnerables desalojadas o en riesgo de serlo. De igual forma, desde la Clínica se ha construido en conjunto con movimientos populares una jornada de capacitaciones, realizada a lo largo del mes de noviembre, dirigida a poblaciones vulnerables, particularmente personas, comunidades y pueblos originarios en la Ciudad de México para brindarles herramientas que les permitan entender, defender y concretar el derecho humano a la vivienda adecuada, fomentando así la participación activa en procesos de toma de decisiones así como en procesos de exigencia de este y otros derechos relacionados. Asimismo, se busca que estos espacios no sean actividades aisladas, sino que a través del diálogo directo que se mantenga con las personas participantes se realicen ejercicios para identificar colectivamente las principales problemáticas y violaciones al derecho humano a la vivienda adecuada y otros derechos relacionados a los que se enfrentan para así construir sesiones futuras que aborden dichas cuestiones de forma particular. De este modo, desde la Clínica podrá obtenerse un panorama sobre la situación de este derecho, ayudando así a fortalecer las estrategias que se impulsan para abonar en el acceso al derecho humano a la vivienda adecuada.

In the past months, the Legal Clinic “María Luisa Marín” has been strengthened through the work of HIC-AL and the Universidad Iberoamericana. We carried out training sessions for law students to provide them with knowledge and tools to address cases of violations of the right to adequate housing from a human rights perspective. We also gave advice and orientation to 8 cases of vulnerable people who were evicted and people who were at risk of eviction. Likewise, in collaboration with grassroots movements, the Clinic organized a training program carried out throughout November. This program was aimed at vulnerable populations, particularly individuals, communities, and indigenous people in Mexico City, and sought to provide them with tools that would enable them to understand, defend and realize their human right to adequate housing, thus promoting active participation in decision-making processes, as well as actions to demand this and other related rights. The sessions were also planned in a way that they would not be isolated activities, but rather that they were also a moment to identify alongside the participants the main problems and violations of the human right to adequate housing and other related rights that they face. With this information, the Clinic will plan future sessions that address these issues and will also be able to get an overview of the current situation of this right, contributing to the strengthening of the strategies that are being implemented to improve access to the human right to adequate housing in Mexico.
