The Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity (Spanish: Ministerio de las Mujeres, Géneros y Diversidad; MMGyD) was a ministry of the Argentine Government tasked with overseeing the country's public policies on issues affecting women and gender and sexual minorities. The ministry was created in 2019, as one of the initial measures of President Alberto Fernández; the first minister was Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta.[2]
The ministry overtook the responsibilities of the National Institute for Women (Instituto Nacional de la Mujer; INAM), which existed from 2017 to 2019.[3]
The ministry was dissolved in December 2023 following an announcement by President Javier Milei after his inauguration. The ministry became a provisional undersecretary until June 2024, when it was definitely closed. The Milei's administration alleged the ministry was a "politicized entity" in order to justify its supression.[4] The government also alleged that "This organization was created and used by the previous administration to propagate and impose an ideological agenda", stating also that "none of its actions resulted in the lowering of the number of crimes against women".[5]
