Recent constitutional and legal reforms approved between September 2024 and April 2026 have focused on substantive equality, inclusive language, parity in the Judiciary, and addressing femicide. These reforms mandate that the State guarantee a life free of violence for women and require security institutions to operate with a gender perspective.
