The 8th March is a date set by the UN in 1975 to remember the struggle for equal rights and universal suffrage. This commemoration brings together the efforts of women who demanded their right to vote, work, professional training, hold public office, and fight discrimination in the workplace. This struggle is the fruit of the work of women who sacrificed themselves for the cause. Various events that we experience on a daily basis show that the social situation has changed. However, it is essential that both men and women commit themselves to progress and justice in order to make things happen.
At ArchDaily, throughout the year we make a constant effort to make these practices visible by shedding light on projects and research that address issues of collectivity, equity, violence, invisibilisation, urbanism and architecture led by women, which stimulate the feminist struggle and contribute to building better spaces and cities for new generations, laying the foundations for the future and showing a new way of doing architecture with a gender perspective.
That is why, taking a look at their architectural production in recent years, we have compiled a series of articles and interviews that present urban and architectural research and projects led by women architects, as well as women-led offices in Mexico.
