Honorary Commission for Rural Women
The Honorary Commission for Rural Women was created in 1996 and operated under the Rural Family Program of the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP). The National Budget Law No. 17930 of 2005 assigns to MGAP the responsibility of providing an institutional context for the activities carried out through the Honorary Commission for Rural Women. This Committee was comprised of rural women's organizations at the national level, such as the Rural Association of Uruguay, Federated Agrarian Cooperatives, Rural Federation and Rural Women's Network of Uruguay. Its objective was to increase participation in the creation and implementation of public policies and also to improve their access to resources and services.
