In particular, we have created, for the first time, an item in the budgets of the Council of Women aimed specifically at interventions that this body is going to develop in rural areas.
During the first year has been driven management information being delivered to rural women through various women's associations that are in our municipality.

We are also promoting the decentralization of training that develops from the Department of Women and other municipal departments, such as training in new technologies, which is being held for the first time in the countryside.
In this line, through the Department of New Technologies are improving and innovating in the rural area on the systems that bring new networks of communication to the citizens. "
