Overview
- Speaking at her Thursday morning press conference, the Mexican president set out a framework that fuses gender policy with social rights.
- She argued it is contradictory to claim support for women while denying rights to education, health, housing, culture and reading.
- She maintained that the fights against gender inequality and economic injustice are inseparable parts of a single push for equality.
- She questioned conservative figures’ feminist credentials, citing past slurs such as “lavadoras de dos patas” and “viejerío,” and noted that violence against women rose during their time in power.
- She concluded with an inclusive message of “llegamos todas,” saying that anyone who feels excluded is taking a personal position against a historic struggle of Mexican women.
