(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 17. The global housing crisis is fundamentally intertwined with systemic struggles for social equity, anti-racism, and gender equality, Manuel Montenegro, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federative Republic of Brazil to the Republic of Azerbaijan, said during a ministerial roundtable held within the framework of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku, Trend reports.

The diplomat began by expressing his gratitude to the host nation: "I would like to thank the government and people of Azerbaijan for their tremendous hospitality. This marks the second major and globally significant forum that Azerbaijan has successfully hosted in recent times."

Ambassador Montenegro emphasized that securing decent housing forms the absolute bedrock of sustainable and resilient development, though deep structural inequities persist.

"Brazil continues to face numerous municipal challenges that disproportionately impact low-income demographics, particularly female-headed households. This reality serves as a stark reminder that the housing issue is just as critical as social equity, the fight against racial discrimination, and gender equality," he stated.
