The Observatory is a human rights centre that concentrates its efforts on dismantling the devalued perception of social rights – the right to housing, to work, to education, to health, to food – in relation to other fundamental rights such as civil and political rights and patrimonial rights. To this end, the Observatory combines political advocacy with research, the advice and the organization of courses and conferences and strategic litigation. Thus, research and publications are promoted, seminars and trainings are organized and popular demands and struggles are accompanied. All this without losing sight of the importance of networking and participation in social campaigns.
