After a decade of neoliberalism under the social-conservative administration of Carlos Menem (1989-1999), with its negative effects on women's rights, the 2001-2002 economic crises created new opportunities for women. The Menem administration initiated a gender-equality agenda with its quota for women candidates for the Congress and its adoption of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, but it clashed with women's groups on reproductive rights. While the two Kirchner administrations (2003-present) established programs for sexual health and responsible procreation, they reverted to maternalism in their programs for social assistance for poor mothers and family support. The Consejo Nacional de la Mujer (National Women's Council), created during the Menem administration, took on more responsibility for delivering social assistance but abandoned its original gender-equality mandate. Luego de una década de neoliberalismo bajo la administración conservadora-social de Carlos Menem (1989-1999), con sus efectos negativos sobre los derechos de las mujeres, las crisis económicas de 2001-2002 crearon nuevas oportunidades para las mujeres. La administración Menem inició una agenda de igualdad de género con la adopción de la cuota para candidatas mujeres para el Congreso y la adopción del Convención sobre la Eliminación de Todas las Formas de Discriminación contra la Mujer de la ONU, pero chocó con los grupos de mujeres sobre derechos reproductivos. Aunque las dos administraciones Kirchner (2003 al presente) establecieron programas para la salud sexual y la procreación responsable, volvieron al maternalismo en sus programas de asistencia social para mujeres pobres y el apoyo familiar. El Consejo Nacional de la Mujer, creado durante la administración Menem, se comprometió más en la entrega de asistencia social pero abandonó su mandato original de igualdad de género
