🟢 | ARTICLE: New Opportunities: Claudia Sheinbaum's Presidency and the Future of Mexico’s Gender Policy 🌎✨ Claudia Sheinbaum's presidency marks a pivotal moment in Mexico's history. As the nation's first female president, elected with nearly 60% of the vote, her leadership unfolds amidst a significant national crisis of gender-based violence. In our latest article, Isabel Rubio explores the potential for transformative change. Drawing on an insightful interview with Wilson Fellow Carin Zissis, the article highlights: - The progress and challenges of women's political representation in Mexico. - The implications of Sheinbaum's proposed reforms for achieving substantive equality. - Strategies to address critical issues such as political violence, economic inequality, and cultural barriers. As Sheinbaum begins her term, her commitment to gender equality could set a new standard for leadership in Mexico and beyond. But achieving meaningful progress will require action, implementation, and collective effort. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dV5qtDup #GenderEquality #ClaudiaSheinbaum #Leadership #PolicyInnovation #USMexicoRelations

🟢 | EXPERT ANALYSIS: Our #ConstitutionalReformsGuide features new content: “Mexico’s Judicial Reform: A feminist critique of its Risks for Rule of Law, Migration, and Human Rights” by Melissa Ayala García! “The judiciary has been a crucial ally in advancing gender justice, delivering landmark rulings on abortion rights, gender-based violence, and feminicide. For example, the Supreme Court’s ruling where total criminalization of abortion was declared unconstitutional marked a historic victory for women’s rights in a country where patriarchal norms remain deeply entrenched, and only a few politicians supported them publicly. A judiciary beholden to political interests or public opinion may shy away from such rulings, fearing electoral backlash. This could roll back decades of progress in feminist jurisprudence, leaving women, migrants, and LGBTQ+ individuals vulnerable to systemic injustices.” 🇲🇽 💡 https://lnkd.in/gA_WpQGE #ConstitutionalReforms #JudicialReform #WomensRights #HumanRights #Migration

🟢 | EXPERT ANALYSIS: Our #ConstitutionalReformsGuide features new content: “Reforms Concerning Autonomous Agencies: The Elimination of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI)” by Gabriela Edith Morales Martinez! “For the past six years, there have been several attempts to limit the functioning of INAI through the omission of the legislative to designate three of the transparency commissioners that the collegiate governing body needed for deliberations and resolutions, while at the same time, the president used a significant amount in his morning press conferences to denigrate INAI’s work. On November 21, the Chamber of Deputies approved the disappearance of INAI. The reform proposes that the public institutions (obliged subjects to a regime of transparency that is being dismantled) themselves promote, protect, and guarantee the right to information and personal data protection.” 🇲🇽 💡 https://lnkd.in/gvuh-b_9 #ConstitutionalReforms #AutonomousAgencies #AccessToInformation #INAI #Transparency

🟢 | EXPERT ANALYSIS: Our #ConstitutionalReformsGuide features new content: “Implications of Going from State-Owned Enterprises to State-Productive Enterprises and Back” by Leonardo Beltran Rodriguez! “Lower competition reduces incentives to innovate, improve efficiency, and add new technologies, all at the expense of the final consumer. If the new government wants to improve economic activity, have stronger SOEs, and increase social development, limiting investments and reducing the ability of the SOEs to learn from best practices will weaken the state's capacity and diminish Mexico´s potential.” 🇲🇽 💡 https://lnkd.in/gCBJBhpp #ConstitutionalReforms #AutonomousAgencies #CFE #EnergyPolicy #Competition #StateOwnedEnterprises

🟢 | EXPERT ANALYSIS: Our #ConstitutionalReformsGuide features new content: “Mexico’s Overhaul of its Antitrust Policy and Enforcement” by Cristina Massa! “Markedly, Cofece’s active litigation and advocacy to foster competition in power generation, even at CFE’s expense, evidenced the potential misalignment between the technocratic view of promoting efficiency in the market by giving preference to lower-cost generators and the more political and nationalistic stance for strong State-owned utility companies, sponsored by the President. To cure this alleged democratic deficit, reduce public expenditure, and retake the Executive’s conduction of the economy on a case-by-case basis, the President proposed reverting regulatory and policy powers to the central administration, whose head emanated from democratic elections.” 🇲🇽 💡https://lnkd.in/gAAEEvnZ #ConstitutionalReforms #AutonomousAgencies #Antitrust #MarketRegulation #USMCA #COFECE
