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.
Population:209,497,025

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.
With the work of the Spotlight Initiative on legislative matters, harmonization processes have taken large steps. On August 24, the Congress of the state of Chihuahua amended several laws to strengthen the state’s response to Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), including reforms to the Law of the Right of Women to a Life Free of Violence, the Law of the Rights of Girls, Children, and Adolescents, and the Law that Regulates the Provision of Services for the Attention, Care and Comprehensive Development of Children. At the federal level, four comprehensive reform packages were presented in the following areas: regarding orphans’ victims of femicide; femicide and child femicide; supervision, reporting, and punishment for public servants who violate the human rights of women victims of violence; and family violence. UN Women has signed Memorandums of Understanding with the Federal Congress (the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies), the Congress of the state of Mexico and the Congress of Chihuahua. Guides and knowledge products have been elaborated by the Country Office, with the participation of several Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) from the municipalities of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Ecatepec, Naucalpan, and Chilpancingo. The proposal on the legislative harmonization of the General Law of Responsibilities is still pending discussion in the proper legislative commission, so it is expected to resume its adjudication. 3,000 women and girls’ victims of violence, and around 10,000 indirect victims, were directly benefited from CSOs interventions. This is the result of the financial support given to 21 civil society organizations from Chilpancingo, Ecatepec, Naucalpan, Ciudad Juárez, and Chihuahua. 135 activists, leaders of civil society and defenders of women have strengthened their capacities on different gender skills to eradicate violence against women such as: knowledge on feminicidal violence; capacities for funding, working with international cooperation, and accountability; and technical needs to improve their strategies to eradicate violence against women and girls. 15 media sources in Mexico participated in a pilot of innovative coverage on violence against women and girls, through 30 notes developed and disseminated in the second semester of 2021, of which 13 were part of the orange day in the framework of the International Day Against VAWG. The Allied Media Network, as part of the Media Compact, positioned actions to eliminate feminicide and change social standards towards the prevention of VAWG were supported. A proposal for a set of strategic indicators resulting from the statistical production on VAWG have been carried out by the Spotlight entities and municipalities. Several other tools have been created during 2021, for instance, a strategy that strengthens the administrative records of three states and five municipalities participating in Spotlight, as well as the guiding principles and instruments of this strategy which include specific recommendations, particularly for the National Bank of Data and Information on Cases of Violence against Women (BANAVIM for its acronym in Spanish), the administrative records of the Mechanisms for the Advancement of Women and the administrative records of the 911 and 089 Emergency Call Centers. The UN Women Center of Excellence on Gender Statistics (CEGS), in coordination with the UNODC Center of Excellence, prepared the document “Statistical framework on gender-related killings of women and girls (also referred to as femicide / feminicide)”. The document was submitted to a global consultation carried out with health, judicial, statistical and academic institutions. The purpose was to improve data collection techniques on violence against women and to have an International Classification of Crimes for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) from a gender perspective. The document was submitted to the United Nations Statistical Commission and presented at the 15th Meeting of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Gender Statistics (IAEG-GS). With the Safe Cities program, public and digital spaces are being consolidated, including workspaces, free of harassment against women. With efforts made in Guadalajara, Coahuila and Iztapalapa through knowledge products and trainings, this program is adding to promote that all women and girls live a life free of violence. The state government of Coahuila now has the first State Program to Prevent and Eliminate Violence in the state of Coahuila and four relevant knowledge products for informed decision making and design of Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) public policies. To strengthen the capacities of both authorities and organizations of civil society, there are now 200 key actors in Coahuila (police, public prosecutor's offices, gender units, CSOs) with skills, capacities and tools to deal with VAWG. The Municipality of Iztapalapa in Mexico City, as well as CSOs, academic and diverse women and neighbors can now benefit from a scoping study, program proposal and baseline study on Sexual Violence Against Women and Girls (SVAWG) in public spaces. Considering prevention is still the most cost-effective, long-term way to stop violence, and focusing on early education and respectful relationships, a Design Thinking Workshop with the United Nations International Computing Center (UNICCC) increased the capacities of 25 women (indigenous, refugees, LGBTQ+, working mothers and disabled women) from the city of Guadalajara and its metropolitan area to conceive and develop a mobile app to denounce violence cases in public spaces, to ask for help, to generate neighbor networks and to identify unsafe spots, among other actions related to women´s safety in public spaces.Disclaimer and notes
