GENDER AND HIV/AIDS The municipal authorities guarantee the protection of citizens of both sexes without discrimination through their various bodies, their governance and existing legislation, and through the national constitution. The Municipal Council has a commission consisting of three members of the Municipal Assembly to investigate cases of gender-related injustice and to channel these for debate and solution (or arbitration when no solution can be found among those directly involved).
