Through documentary research, it analyzes the different legislatures of the Chamber of Deputies to identify the legal and political advances that have enabled greater inclusion of women in decision-making spaces. The study highlights the constitutional achievements represented by gender parity and reflects affirmative actions to reduce gender gaps.
