Results achieved
Strengthen and further work towards a cross-section approach to the problem of gender equality in public policies by implementing the measures mentioned before in the objectives section.the work of inmujeres is still in its initial stages; however, it is planned to focus increasingly on the development of identities and the inclusion of persons, e.g. through the fondo mas fund, which supports cultural, social, sports, artistic, academic and other projects, events and actions promoting changes towards a more egalitarian society for women and men, and thereby contributes to the strengthening of women´s groups and their capacity to make an impact on the public agenda and provide incentives to building critical mass from a gender, racial-ethnic or generational perspective. http://www.inmujeres.gub.uy/innovaportal/v/61235/6/innova.front/fondo-mas
