Participation

By invitation

What kind of equality? was the theme of the meeting. In the occasion ECLAC presented a position document examining the achievements made in gender equality and the challenges still facing the Governments of the region in this regard, in light of the interplay between the State, the market and families -the three social institutions built up over time through policies, institutions, legislation, usage and custom, that together establish the conditions in which social and gender hierarchies are changed or perpetuated.
