Supreme Court Minister Yasmín Esquivel Touts Judicial Gender Parity, Urges 50+1 to Rally Behind Sheinbaum

At a Mexico City New Year dinner, she linked the 2025 parity milestone to a reform push and a drive to remove structural barriers facing women.

Overview

  • Esquivel said the federal judiciary reached gender parity in 2025, calling it a once “unattainable” goal and a step toward justice with a gender perspective.
  • Speaking to the Colectivo 50+1 at La Hacienda de Los Morales, she urged members to combat inequality and gender violence by dismantling structural barriers.
  • She endorsed President Claudia Sheinbaum’s proposed constitutional and legal reforms aimed at expanding women’s rights and guaranteeing a life free of violence.
  • Her call for unity around Sheinbaum drew a muted response compared with other parts of her remarks, according to reporting from the event.
  • Esquivel praised 50+1 leader María Elena Orantes for building a network of women and noted the Supreme Court now counts five women among nine justices, its first female majority.
