Perú: National Plan for Gender Equality 2012-2017

The National Gender Equality Plan 2012-2017 (PLANIG) is the instrument whose objective is to mainstream the gender perspective in the public policies of the Peruvian State, at its three levels of government, guaranteeing equality and the effective protection of human rights for women and men, non-discrimination and the full development of individual and collective potential and capacities. In this way, it is expected to guarantee to all people the exercise of their rights to equality, dignity, free development, welfare and autonomy, as well as to eradicate all forms of discrimination, in order to achieve real and effective equality. Currently, Peru has a National Policy on Gender Equality (PNIG), developed in 2019.
