About Minister of Women's Rights

The Minister for Gender Equality, Diversity and Equal Opportunities is a French government department responsible for developing and enforcing public policies that promote legal and economic equality between women and men, combat gender-based violence and discrimination, improve women's access to employment and political representation, and integrate gender equality objectives across the state. Since 1974, the French government has intermittently included a minister responsible for women's rights. For decades, this Ministry functioned as a junior branch within larger ministries, but it has repeatedly been reshuffled between different cabinets and has operated under a variety of titles.
