Public Policy for Gender Equality in Palmira
The Public Policy for Gender Equality for the women of Palmira was a program to develop guidelines for the municipal administration of the town of Palmira, developed during the years 2009-2010. The initiative came from the Mayor's Office of the city through its Social Integration Secretariat, in conjunction with the Center for Research for Development and Innovation and the Pontifical Bolivarian University. The Plan was drawn up through different consultation instances: 15 group workshops were held in urban and rural areas of the city, socialization sessions were conducted in collaboration with 51 women's organizations, and a Reference Team was formed with 25 women representatives and local leaders. At the end of the process, a Political Booklet was also prepared to disseminate the document.
