Buenos Aires' Provincial Women's Council

Buenos Aires' Provincial Women's Council was created in 2007 by a decree of the Provincial Executive Power, with the purpose of advising regional government branches, municipalities, communes, and other public and private organizations regarding the insertion and institutional participation of women, proposing gender policies and monitoring the impact of public policies that seek to empower women. Representatives of the three branches of government at the provincial level, trade unions and civil society organizations that defend women's rights participate in the Council.
