Women in Paraguay have experienced significant cultural change since 1990 as a result of constitutional and legal expansions of womens rights and evolving cultural attitudes. The legal and government institutions currently existing in Paraguay were developed in part through the efforts of feminist organizations in the country that held significant awareness-raising campaigns during the 1990s to formalize the guarantees of women's rights.
