The INE representative pointed out that, from 2009 to 2024, Mexico has made progress in terms of women’s participation in politics, since during this period 60 percent of the votes went to candidates. However, he also recognized that there are spaces in which gender parity has not yet been achieved.
“Today there are more parity elected positions in the Congress of the Union, in local congresses and in governorships, but inequalities still persist and are deepening at the municipal level. Parity is still not reflected in all decision-making spaces and much less in conditions free of violence, which is why he emphasized paying attention to the challenge of digital violence,” he pointed out.
“Digital violence, which escalates to more aggressive behavior every day, is showing sustained growth. It feeds on social normalization and becomes a phenomenon that violates rights, limits participation and generates a hostile environment for women and people from vulnerable groups in digital spaces,” added the Presidential Counselor of the INE.
Finally, Taddei listed the commitments that she seeks to promote during her presidency in the Observatory of Women’s Political Participation in Mexico.
- Transparency so that citizens can evaluate progress.
- Strengthening the agendas in each federal entity so that parity is a reality throughout the country.
- Prevention and attention to digital and digital political violence against women based on gender.
- Strengthen inter-institutional coordination to standardize criteria and routes for prevention, care and elimination of political violence and continue advancing parity.
