District Council for Women's Culture

The District Council for Women's Culture is part of the Subsystem of Culture for Ethnic Groups and Social Sectors and Age Groups of the District System of Art, Culture and Heritage of the Capital District. This Council is one of the District Councils of Culture for the Social Sectors, which are settings for the meeting, deliberation, participation and coordination of public and private policies, plans and programs and the respective strategic lines of investment for the cultural development of the social sectors of Bogotá. In this case, for women. Representatives of the Local Councils of Arts, Culture and Heritage participate in the Council and collaborate with women's organizations and the district administration. Initially, the District System of Culture was created in 2002, but it was not until 2007 that a subsystem was created for these social groups, when a reform was made to this System and the District System of Art, Culture and Heritage was established and as part of this, the Subsystem for the Cultures of Ethnic and Rural Poor Groups and Communities, women, and rural and social populations and sectors; which included the District Council for Women's Culture. Later in 2009, the Subsystem was modified and renamed as the Subsystem for Ethnic Groups and Social Sectors and Age Groups, which included the District Council for Women's Culture within the District Councils of Culture for the Social Sectors.
