Police and Judges against Gender Violence in the Southern Cone
 We would like to share with you the news published by UN Women about the experience being developed in Rosario, Argentina, in the framework of the Regional Programme "Cities without Violence against Women, Safe Cities for All", implemented by the Latin America Women and Habitat Network.
A joint study by UN Women and UNODC highlights the work on violence care and prevention carried out with the Municipal Urban Guard (GUM). This initiative is of interest with respect to cases of gender violence, as a response from the local government, in the legal, judicial, and citizen safety spheres, to prevent violence against women.

What state? For what equality?
XI Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean
This document is the result of the last CEPAL conference, held this year in Brasilia, Brazil. It analyzes progress in gender equality in the region 15 years after the approval of the Beijing Action Platform, 10 years after the formulation of the Millennium Development Goals, and 3 years after the adoption of the Quito Consensus at the tenth Regional Conference on Women in Latin and the Caribbean, held in 2007.
It also examines achievements made and the challenges that face governments in light of the interactions among the State, the market, and families, as social institutions created through policies, laws, and customs that, together, establish conditions for renewing or perpetuating social and gender hierarchies.
