History
The Yo Quiero Una Ley management committee was created in 2018 to promote and monitor the approval of the general equality and non-discrimination law.
The purpose of this committee is to promote, design and implement comprehensive policies and regulations in favor of equality and non-discrimination, as well as powers of prevention, supervision and monitoring of compliance with the law.
While we were growing in the movement, more organizations joined this cry of social struggle and that is why we formed a coalition of organizations that make up the management committee #I Want A Law.
Currently the coalition of organizations that make up the management committee I want a law is made up of 25 member groups and communities.
