Morón: Municipal Council of Gender and Diversities

The Municipal Council of Women and Diversities is an innovative public policy that relies on the participation of women and dissidents through horizontal and plural mechanisms.

It is carried out in the Municipality of Morón, a local state located in the Conurbano of the Province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), a city that is mostly made up of a population of women and diversities (census carried out in Argentina in 2022). The municipality, on the other hand, has a wide and vast trajectory of public policies with a citizen proximity, cross-cutting and gender perspective.

It is under the orbit of the Secretariat of Women, Genders, Diversity and Human Rights, an area that brings together all public policies on the subject addressed from a perspective of promoting rights and preventing violence against women and diversities.

It addresses a variety of current and past issues, all of them related to the feelings, history and perspective of women and dissidences.

It is proposed, above all, as a democratic space for exchanging experiences and addressing issues that women and diversity face on a daily basis.

In addition to the Municipality's history of progress in terms of social rights, this particular space also has an advanced history of gender recognition at the international and national level, which dates back almost uninterruptedly to 2004. In these 20 years it has mutated into the plural and broad space that it is today. Thus, the council has accompanied the development of the feminist movement in its current powerful construction, given that it participated in the national women's meetings when they were just beginning in our country and that today they have become massive, to the point that today they have become plurinational women's meetings.
