Overview
- At the Senate’s Xicoténcatl venue, officials marked the 110th anniversary of the 1916 Feminist Congress in a ceremony organized by Senate president Laura Itzel Castillo.
- Castillo stated the electoral reform promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum must be explicitly feminist, noting the draft is in early construction and will hinge on consensus and public concerns over political spending.
- Attorney General Ernestina Godoy praised the legal framework won by women yet warned that material and cultural transformation remains incomplete, especially for Indigenous, Afro‑Mexican, rural, migrant and impoverished women.
- Speakers highlighted equality measures championed by Sheinbaum that were published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación one day before the commemoration.
- Mérida’s city council held a solemn session to institutionalize an annual remembrance and noted its female majority, as Citlalli Hernández urged convening a second Feminist Congress and Castillo read conclusions recognizing the 1916 gathering as a watershed.
