Gender on the political agenda of Sonora

Sonora Political Agenda

Abstract

. In recent decades, Mexico has been the scene of the tireless struggle of groups of people who demand the right to equality enshrined in the political constitution of the United Mexican States, in all areas where there is a gender disparity. The gender issue has been addressed in innumerable studies generated from the commitments assumed by the nations derived from the Fourth World Conference, held in 1995 in Beijing, where women were positioned and empowered, defining objectives and mechanisms to ensure gender equality and thus eliminate the obstacles that prevented that end. Mexico is one of the countries that is obliged to promote substantive equality between men and women and put an end to those bad practices that affect society in the face of discrimination in various aspects of women's lives, due to gender. In Sonora, this duty adopted by the Mexican state has been included in the political agenda, which is why this issue has been included as a central axis in government work; although the problem is still present today, but the efforts to combat discrimination continue.
