Women and Municipalities: Opportunities and challenges for active citizenship
The "Women and Municipalities: opportunities and challenges for active citizenship" meeting was held in July 2010. It was in charge of the Women?s Secretariat of the City Hall of Montevideo, in co-management with organized women of civil society. The main participants were the members of the "Women's Commune" in Montevideo. The encounter arose due to the new institutional context that occurred in 2010 in Uruguay, that is to say the creation of the 3rd level of the government (the municipalities). The objective was to strengthen organized groups of women from Montevideo within this new institutional context, but also to advance in the 2nd Plan of Equality of Opportunities and Rights between Women and Men of Montevideo. The result of the meeting was the "Proposal of organized women of Montevideo for the Administration and mayors. Proposals for the Departmental level and for the Municipalities ".
