Qué funciona en Portugal

Portugal has implemented multiple initiatives to advance gender equality in leadership and decision-making across sectors. Águas de Portugal's Gender Equality Plan aligns with national Law No. 62/2017 mandating a minimum 33.3% representation of women in management roles, with a target of 40% women on the Board of Directors by 2030. Promova demonstrates concrete results, with 49% of 129 participants across four editions promoted to senior management positions in Portuguese companies. Additionally, Participo! shows investment in women's civic and political participation at the local level, supported by €240,019 in EEA Grants funding. These practices indicate a systemic focus on gender equality across public utilities, private business, and local civic engagement, though the evidence documents targets and activities rather than comprehensive outcome data across the country.
