National Mechanism for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women in Latin America and the Caribbean Region (Mujer y Desarrollo) (Economic Commission ... and the Caribbean, Mujer Y Desarrollo) Synopsis
Since the 1990 's Latin American and Caribbean countries, have advanced in the process of setting up national mechanisms for the advancement of women and have managed to carve out a formal space in the state apparatus as part of the democratisation process that has transpired in the region in the past few years. In the more developed countries in the region truly significant advances have been accomplished in recent years. The study examines the creation and development of new secondary mechanisms which have come to complement and support the efforts of the principal national machineries which have maintained their normative responsibilities of promoting public policies.
