Comment

The Political Parties Act only includes gender quotas for candidates, not for the financing of candidates.
The Law on Equality, Equity, and Eradication of Discrimination against Women
establishes general aspects on the matter, without referring to financing, but provides a slight guideline on gender equality in financing, as Article 22,
refers to equality in electoral processes and 
states that parties must promote the political participation of women in electoral processes on an equal opportunities.
