The Basque Country, the State of Rio de Janeiro, the State of Jalisco and the Municipality of Colonia, Uruguay, have been awarded that year. Since then, 30 good practices, which constitute ORU Fogar's Regional Good Practices Bank, have been awarded.

Political participation and violence: "The struggle for equality"
Women in Peru have historically faced structural barriers to exercising their right to suffrage and participation in the political life of the country. These barriers have been generated by discriminatory laws, practices, attitudes and gender stereotypes, in addition to low levels of education and economic dependence. In our country, the recognition of women's right to political participation, as well as other fundamental rights, has been a slow process but also gradual at the normative level. Thus, in 1955, thanks to the effort and struggle of many women, the law allowed women of legal age to have the right to elect and be elected.
