On her second full day in office, Sheinbaum proposed measures to ensure equal pay for equal work, with women currently earning just 65 pesos for every 100 pesos a man makes, as per data from the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness.
The reform package includes a constitutional guarantee of freedom from violence and mandates gender parity in government cabinets at both state and federal levels. It involves amending six constitutional articles and seven secondary laws, with expected approval in Congress, where Sheinbaum’s party, Morena, holds a substantial majority.
