Councilwoman Responsible for Promoting Equal Opportunity

At least here in the U.S., the term would be Councilwoman/Councilman.

However, here in the U.S. Council members are not responsible for specific portfolios (at least not for any City Council I've ever heard of)... they all vote on issues, although may sponsor pet projects.

I know that's quite different in Spain, because a good friend of mine is a Concejala and has a specific portfolio.

agree Rachel Fell : Sounds right, though we just say councillor in UK for either gender

Equal Opportunity Councillor/Councilwoman

Gender-neutral language is often preferred in English these days, so I propose Councillor for the translation, even though we know it is a woman. However, if you are using "Councilman" elsewhere, you should preserve "Councilwoman" here.

You could also say "City/Town Councillor for Equal Opportunity", but that sounds more like a voting position than a job function. I notice that in the following references, the reference to the city/town is dropped since it is assumed that the councillor is on the city/town council.
