In 2023, following the recovery from the pandemic, a new Ministry was established, the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family Affairs, with the aim of integrating at a higher level, the policies on human rights, gender equality, the rights of the child and the rights of vulnerable social groups, in order to achieve social solidarity and cohesion. The areas of competence of the new Ministry also include demography and family support policies.
The portfolios of gender equality and human rights were transferred to this Ministry, with the creation of the General Secretariat for Equality and Human Rights, which is the competent governmental authority for the promotion of gender equality, and the design, implementation and monitoring of national equality policies, with an extended portfolio on human rights.
Its current administrative structure includes 2 Directorates (Directorate for Planning, Standardization and Policy Monitoring on gender equality and Directorate for Social Protection and Counseling Services, 6 departments, the Independent Department of European and International Cooperation and the Department of Human Rights. The staff of the GSEHR is comprised by 57 people, 40 employees of which are public servants, whose salary is funded by the state budget, while 17 employees are providing services under a fixed-term contract and their salary is funded by the EU. It should be also mentioned, that since March 2023, a Helpdesk has been established in the General Secretariat to support the Local Authorities in fostering and implementing gender equality policies and to further strengthen the establishment of stable cooperation with a network of municipalities and regions.
