On gender impact assessment of policies and laws: Law 4/2018, establishes the legal framework for gender impact assessment of normative acts; moreover, Decree Law 169-B/2019 (which approves the organization and functioning of the 22th Constitutional Government) establishes that legislative projects must present a justification which must always include a gender impact assessment. However, existing instruments are limited to 1) legislative projects, 2) to an ex ante approach and 3) do not allow for a substantiated assessment of gender impacts on the basis of indicators and qualitative insights.
