The executive power in Chile is exercised by the president, who serves as both head of state and head of government, along with their cabinet. In 1952, Adriana OlguÃÂn became the first female cabinet minister in Latin America.
As of 2025, eighty-eight women have served as cabinet ministers in the governments of Chile. There has been at least one woman in every cabinet since March 2000, when Ricardo Lagos assumed the presidency.
Gabriel Boric's administration appointed Chile's first-ever majority-women cabinet upon taking office in 2022: fourteen women and ten men, with an average age of 49. The cabinet lost its gender parity in April 2023 but regained it in January 2025.
