Abstract
This paper examines the role of social movements to include women in Khayelitsha in collaboration practices to improve their basic services and, eventually, their right to the city. Women in Khayelitsha are a disempowered group without sufficient access to adequate basic services. Right to the city in the context of this research is the ability of women to participate in decision-making processes regarding basic services and their ability to change their own basic services. This qualitative study incorporates thirteen semi-structured interviews with women from Khayelitsha and four semi-structured interviews with members of three different social movements working in Khayelitsha on improving basic services. The qualitative research analysis indicated promising collaborations between social movements with women to improve their basic services and right to the city. Important lessons can be learnt from these collaborations to help partly overcome the issues women are experiencing in Khayelitsha regarding basic services.
