World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

By 2025, the Mexican State effectively implements regulatory frameworks, public policies and quality mechanisms that prevent and sanction all forms and manifestations of violence, particularly against women, girls and adolescents, to while guaranteeing access to quality services for proper care and protection for victims.
Data for better policies will be available and more policies and legal frameworks will ensure effective measures to combat VAWG, more civil society organization will become stronger advocates and actors to eliminate EVAW, women will have access to safe public, work and digital spaces; and institutions as well as civil society organizations will have a greater impact on the construction of societies that prevent, address and sanction all forms of violence against women and girls.

By 2025, the Mexican State effectively implements regulatory frameworks, public policies and quality mechanisms that prevent and sanction all forms and manifestations of violence, particularly against women, girls and adolescents, to while guaranteeing access to quality services for proper care and protection for victims.
The outcome was not achieved but significant progress was made in 2023. Mexico continues the efforts to eliminate discriminatory regulatory frameworks, with support of the Spotlight Initiative in Mexico, led by UN Women . At the national level, Spotlight worked together with the Gender Equality Commissions of both chambers of the federal legislature. This consolidated the promotion of reform proposals to 80 laws, a transcendental and historic result that strengthens the legal frameworks of the Mexican State in terms of care, prevention, punishment, and eradication of feminicide and other types of violence based on gender to help women and girls access a life free of violence. During 2023 Spotlight contributed to prepare 3 federal reforms to the Law on Women's Access to a Life Free of Violence. They were approved, allowing the following: To consolidate and expedite the process for declaring Gender Violence Against Women Alerts (AVGM) with the participation of civil society. To Include the National Commission for the Eradication of Violence Against Women (CONAVIM) in the law and give it a clear framework of action and powers as governing body for the policy of attention to and eradication of violence against women and girls. To incorporate the Justice Centers into the law and provide them with powers and legal certainty, as well as guarantee comprehensive attention to violence against women and girls with an intersectional approach. Mexico currently has 67 such centers. Spotlight Initiative provided technical assistance to relevant initiatives that were in the legislative process and that have been approved: reform to incorporate "Violence by an intermediary person" into the law, known as vicarious violence; Constitutional Reform "Three out of three" so that there are no aggressors or child support debtors in public positions or as candidates; reform to investigate, punish and repair damages in cases of femicide and; reform of the Federal Criminal Code on Gender-Based Injuries, to punish feminicidal violence such as attacks with acid or corrosive substances. The legislative component of the Spotlight Initiative contributed to strengthening more than 80 laws in Mexico on the human rights of women and girls, the prevention, punishment, care and eradication of femicide and other types of VAWG, which together have a potential benefit to more than 35 million women, girls and boys in Mexico. Noteworthy results include the funding and strengthening of 41 CSOs and women's collectives in Chihuahua, support provided to over 100 femicidal violence victims, and the development of valuable knowledge products, such as the Urgent Manual for Coverage of Violence against Women and Femicides in Mexico and the Early Identification Tool for Femicide Risk . Prevention of violence against women and girls and access to knowledge and tools to do so, was addressed through different actions as the presentation of the journalist Handbook for the coverage of cases of violence against women in Mexico , as part of the Spotlight Initiative, along the European Union, UN Mexico and UN Women at FIL Guadalajara. The Spotlight Initiative positioned itself as a leading initiative in terms of the eradication of feminicide and other types of VAWG in Mexico, which managed to articulate multi-actor and multi-level alliances at the highest level of political commitment and which, in a comprehensive manner, implements actions with a territorial approach, joining as well as those carried out by the government, international cooperation and civil society. UN Women continued to consolidate its work towards safe and empowering public spaces for women and girls through our work with local stakeholders and a broad range of actors from civil society, academia through the Safe Cities and other public spaces, include upscaling the programme to Safe Campus . Tecnológico de Monterrey University became the first educational institution to join UN Women Mexico’s Pilot Program Safe Campus for the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence , reinforcing its commitment to the global HeForShe movement and taking a significant stride towards fostering gender equality and preventing gender-based violence (GBV) Involving students, teachers, collaborators, and sports coaches to prevent gender violence promoting policies and actions for gender equality at the Institution and engaging the Tec community in transforming social norms and behaviors. UN Women reached over 700 students and Tec collaborators . Tec de Monterrey has strengthened its capacities and now has relevant insights about the knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, and experiences on Campus around GBV to inform their policies to prevent, address and punish gender-based violence on campus. The CO continued using diverse communication strategies and channels to reach broader and new audiences in advocating against Violence Against Women, creating awareness, promoting change, and fostering a safer society . Policies, mechanisms and quality information on the prevention of violence against women and girls were aimed through a call to action from UNITE campaign . High level representatives, partners from Embassies, public figures, media and journalists, joined the activation of the campaign, which sent a powerful message regarding the prevention and end of violence against women and girls. The activation was disseminated through UN Women's social media generation more than 400, 000 impressions in social media channels. The call to action and information was widespread through collaborations with public national media, such as IMER , public radio, and Canal 22, public TV. The panel Sports, cinema and the prevention of violence against women and girls , with Nuria Diosdado, Olympic athlete, Ana Laura Rascón, movie producer, moderated by Marion Reimers. A special screening of the movie Dive , produced and starred by Karla Souza, Spokesperson for UN Women Mexico. A collaboration with Arena Mexico to create a mural on the prevention of violence.
