The purpose of this Bill is to educate and sensitize employees working in all levels and hierarchies of the public function about gender and violence against women. The main objective is the prevention and eradication of gender violence, inequalities and discrimination. Specifically, the study will be carried out considering as a guide for public policies the elements set forth by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
