National Policy for the Promotion and Integral Development of Women and the Equal Opportunity Plan 2008-2023

The process of updating the "National Policy for the Promotion and Integral Development of Women and the Equal Opportunity Plan 2008-2023" was developed in a participatory manner, integrating the contributions of different social groups and public institutions. This process involved more than 150 civil society organizations, including several women's groups. In addition, the National Updating Committee was formed to conduct and lead the policy development process. Representatives of rural, campesino, and indigenous women's organizations were part of this committee.
