Permanent Cantonal Commissions for Equality and Gender
The Permanent Cantonal Commissions for Equality and Gender is a body composed of representatives of the State and general society, aimed at ensuring gender equality in the implementation and development of public policy at the cantonal level within Ecuador. This Commission is part of the institutional structure of the National Council for Gender Equality. The Commission is made up with equal participation, understood as the real equality of political quotas between women and men, in places where this kind of participation is possible and with the help of councilors. It is presided over by a counselor. Its central purpose is to ensure the design and implementation of equality and equity rights, as provided for in the Constitution, the Organic Code of Territorial Organization and other existing laws, in compliance with the powers and exercise of the powers of the Decentralized Autonomous Government.
