Taking Action
Taking Action to defend housing rights can occur in many ways.
One of the ways in which COHRE takes action in support of housing rights worldwide is by sending "protest letters" to governments when we receive information about threatened violations of housing rights. To see a database of these letters, please click here.
You can also take action to defend housing rights by using the mechanisms available at the United Nations. Find out more about the existing UN mechanisms dealing with economic, social and cultural rights by checking the section of our website that has substantial information about using the United Nations to promote and protect housing rights.

You can also read information about respecting, protecting and fulfilling housing rights, which are obligations for states who ratify human rights treaties. Click here>>
