National Monitoring Commission (CNS) Women for democracy, equity and citizenship
The National Monitoring Commission (span. CNS) "Women for Democracy, Equity and Citizenship " was created in 1996 at a general assembly of women's organizations with the purpose of promoting compliance in Uruguay with the Plan of Action arising from the Fourth World Conference on Women convened by the United Nations in 1995. The Commission functions as a network and brings together about 60 women's organizations. One of its main objectives continues to be the follow-up and monitoring of state policies and compliance with international commitments in the area of gender. Among its objectives is the uniting of the voices of women's organizations to influence the design of public policies by providing a gender perspective in areas such as: Work, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Violence, Families, Social Participation and Politics. To this end, they organize multiple forums for debate and also seek to permanently train representatives of women's organizations and other social organizations.
