Overview
- The Senate held a solemn session on Tuesday to commemorate the anniversary and, led by president Laura Itzel Castillo Juárez, urged consolidation of equality and justice for women.
- Lawmakers recalled the 1953 constitutional reform that recognized women as citizens and noted that Mexican women voted in a federal election for the first time in 1955.
- INEGI data cited in the chamber show that 545 of 2,471 municipalities—28.9%—are headed by women, while senators warned of political gender violence and enduring stereotypes.
- PAN senator Laura Esquivel Torres said there is nothing to celebrate because poverty, informal work and femicide still limit women’s ability to participate meaningfully.
- At a separate commemoration, Morena Jalisco announced plans to build 63 competitive female profiles and strengthen territorial leadership, citing that 49 women lead Jalisco municipalities—10 from Morena—and reporting national figures of 13 women governors plus Mexico City's head, more than 252 female deputies, and a voter roll that is over 51% women.
