About the Wise Practice
With the creation of this manual, Col·lectiu Punt 6 hopes to increase the visibility of women as an important source of knowledge and as agents of urban change. Women possess crucial knowledge about their environments and day-to-day activities. Women are more aware of the needs of their communities, their neighbourhoods, and the things that need to be done to improve them. The organisation will be able to analyse the environment we live in from both individual and collective perspectives, identify favourable and unfavourable aspects, increase the visibility of women’s knowledge, and promote women’s rights to freely enjoy the city by creating gender-aware towns and cities.
