Only 19% support the new draft.The initial draft from 2022 faced rejection.

It was the first in Chile to advocate for gender parity in public roles.However, 61.87% voted against it in a referendum.Experts say the rejection was due to the draft’s lack of clarity.

Various challenges lie ahead.

The new draft must clear many hurdles before becoming law.
