As far as local government is concerned, the norms currently in force provide that municipalities may carry out activities that complement those carried out by other public administrations, including those pertaining to the promotion of women. Municipalities with populations of more than 20,000 must provide social services, either on their own or in association with other agencies.
Pour ce qui est des administrations locales, conformément aux textes en vigueur, les municipalités peuvent mener des activités complémentaires, en particulier dans le domaine de la promotion de la condition de la femme et les villes ou communautés urbaines de plus de 20 000 habitants doivent assurer la prestation de services sociaux.
