The National Electoral Institute (INE), the State Electoral Institute, the Electoral Tribunal, and the University of Guanajuato, commemorated the 72nd anniversary of Mexican women’s right to vote. In its commemoration, these actors organized the “Women and Democracy: Progress and Challenges in Substantive Equality” forum focused on the country’s democratic and gender-equality journey.
Governor Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo highlighted that Mexico is benefiting from female leadership and social transformation, which has been driven by equity and inclusion. However, she acknowledged that achieving full gender equality remains an ongoing challenge, stating that building an equal society is a shared responsibility that will shape a fairer Mexico for all.
