Facilitating participatory data collection in legal empowerment learning labs is crucial for understanding community needs and informing strategic litigation. This involves working alongside marginalized communities, demanding public services, and examining urban segregation with interdisciplinary action research projects. Key figures such as Felipe Mesel and Francesca Feruglio play vital roles in this process, focusing on human rights, democratic governance, and socio-economic issues.
