The High-Level Group of the Organization of American States (OAS) for strengthening women's political participation made a working visit to Paraguay from August 21 to 23, 2024.
The delegation, headed by the former President of Costa Rica and coordinator of the High-Level Group, Laura Chinchilla, met with authorities of the Superior Electoral Court (TSJE), the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Women, senators and representatives of the legislative branch and members of civil society.
During its meetings, the Group presented the analysis carried out on recommendations from the OAS Electoral Observation Missions (EOM) on political participation and learned about the work that various institutions are promoting in this area.
Through technical assistance and collaboration, the High-Level Group will work with Paraguayan institutions and civil society to continue to strengthen the implementation of the recommendations of the EOMs on women's political participation in the country.
The work of the High-Level Group is made possible thanks to the financial support of the governments of Canada and Italy.
