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.

UN Women Mexico made progress on the outcome in 2023. To advance women's rights and influencing key international dialogues, UN Women Mexico played a pivotal role, in collaboration with the UNCT, in reporting and evaluation processes of the Mexican State in alignment with its obligations to international human rights treaty bodies: UN MEXICO Report – 4th UPR Cycle (Universal Periodic Review); Advocacy Brief for UN Women Mexico's UPR Recommendations "Suggested recommendations by UN Women Mexico Universal Periodic Review of Mexico"; UNCT Mexico Report on the List of Issues Prior to Reporting for CEDAW Committee; Contributions to UNCT Report on the List of Issues Prior to Reporting VII Cycle for CESCR Committee; Written Opinion on the Request for an Advisory Opinion presented by the Argentine Republic before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. High-level, evidence-focused, and technically solid events are an important enabler of political commitment. In 2023, the office prioritized specific events where the whole office was involved, such as the Noche por la igualdad and emblematic activations, which resulted in strong commitment of national partners and strengthened positioning of UN Women as a key player in gender-responsive implementation and monitoring of SDGs. The Night for Equality , an event to present the 2022 results achieved by UN Women Mexico, contributed to communicate the importance of Generation Equality. Among these results were: initiatives for a national care system; recognition and protection of domestic workers´ rights; as well as fostering women´s political and economic leadership. The event served to promote resource mobilization and advocacy for gender equality projects in Mexico. Promotion of socio-cultural transformation to not leave any women or girl behind was addressed through the UN Women HeForShe movement. Specific actions of the HeForShe (HfS) movement in Mexico included scholarships for women and actions such as the one implemented by the Tec de Monterrey university, that due to its work with HeForShe, was invited to be part of the panel Being Respectfully Disruptive in The Pursuit of Gender Equality , in the Global HeForShe Summitt . Tec de Monterrey was represented by one of its most vocal students of HfS, who participated with CEOs and managers from international companies in the Summit that gathered global HeForShe champions. Awareness on gender equality was generated via communication campaigns and activations by UN Women with institutions like IMER and Canal 22; as well as key public figures. Marion Reimers, Good Will Ambassador, participated in the Official Commemoration of International Women's Day 2023 (IWD ) at the United Nations in New York. Ximena Sariñana, Good Will Ambassador, met with women participants from Second Chance Education to learn more of the impact of the program in Mexico. Karla Souza, UN Women Mexico´s Spokesperson, joined the UNITE campaign and participated in the screening of the film Dive in the Film Festival to prevent violence against women and girls organized by UN Women Mexico and the Ministry of Culture. Magos Herrera, UN Women Mexico Spokesperson, presented the Con Alma Concert at the 67th annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW67). The International Cooperation Roundtable in Mexico established a new co-chaired Presidency with the Embassy of Chile and the German Embassy. The presence of the ICRM was amplified as a successful platform for sharing best practices and experiences at a local and national level with a field visit to Tlaxcala. It was also an opportunity to expand our knowledge on the Mexican local context and explore different ways of collaboration with Mexican local states. The ICRM published two editorial opinions Invertir para prevenir la violencia es una tarea de todos y de todas and Prevenir la violencia contra las mujeres: tarea de todos y todas about the prevention and elimination of violence against women. Awareness-raising was spread as a clear message of zero tolerance of all forms of violence against women and girls through the international film festival showcasing 7 pieces of female directors. Collaboration between Mexico CO and HQ facilitated the successful participation of one of the Civil Society Advisory Group (CSAG) members that promoted the vision of Latin America in an international conference of feminist foreign policy on the main challenges in terms of climate change and feminist foreign policy, following the principle of leaving no one behind . Capacity building with UN Women CSAG was amplified by a training to the communications team on how to include a disability perspective in every social media communication. It was also strengthened with the facilitation of a meeting with the former CSAG members and with diverse meetings with the LAC regional CSAG. This marks a huge step forward in the importance of being inclusive and leaving no one behind.Disclaimer and notes
