National Gender Council (CNG)
The National Gender Council (CNG) was created through Law No. 18.104 of March 2007, within the framework of the Plan for Equal Opportunities and Rights. The Council aims to contribute to the design, implementation and evaluation of public policies to advance gender equality. In that sense, it should discuss strategic priorities, advise the Executive Branch and monitor public action and the implementation of Law No. 18.104. The Council counts on representatives of Ministries and Mayors next to four representatives of the civil society and one from the University of the Republic. The law also provides for the possibility of establishing regional and local councils.
