Budget structure was modified to consider gender equality as a budget function (like Health, Education and Public Safety). Such change generated the obligation for civil servants to report if each public expenditure had contributed to gender equality. This research sought to identify and discuss the political and social processes in Ecuador that favored this incorporation of gender perspective in the Public Budget, and also to analyze its implications to gender equality policies in the country. Through document analysis, the study confirmed the hypothesis that these processes created favorable conditions for redistribution initiatives with a gender perspective. Besides of the obligation of allocating public resources for gender equality, another initiative adopted by the State in Ecuador with redistributive potential was the recognition of reproductive work as a productive work, and therefore the definition of actions to share reproductive work responsibility among State, men and women. Finally, the study analyzes (through the perspective of the Public Budget) the implementation of such initiatives from 2010 to 2012.
