Argentina: Former Ministry of Women's “Ideological” Programs Terminated
- On May 16, 2025, Argentina’s Libertarian Government discontinued 13 ideologically-based initiatives that had been implemented under the previous administration’s Ministry focused on Women, Genders, and Diversities, as part of efforts to reduce public expenditures.
- According to Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona, none of the 13 initiatives active during Alberto Fernández's administration from 2020 to 2023 demonstrated measurable impact, evaluation, or result monitoring.
- The discontinued initiatives included the MenstruAR program, which supplied menstrual cups and eco-friendly products, along with other efforts aimed at promoting gender rights, providing training on inclusion, supporting victims of gender-based violence, and advancing transgender rights.
- Cúneo Libarona stated on social media that eliminating these 'absurd wastes' will save millions and that gender and diversity topics had become a 'big business' and 'extortive weapon.'
- The closures are intended to shrink government involvement and enhance individual liberties, but opponents argue they could restrict the availability of fundamental rights and protections related to gender, particularly affecting disadvantaged groups.
