Outcome MEX_D_1.1

By 2025, the Mexican State plans with territorial, population and gender perspective, inclusive strategies to generate shared prosperity that reduces inequality and poverty.

More women are qualifying their ability to influence and participate in decision-making spaces with the support of responsible institutions, particularly at local level. During 202 1 , the partnership with the local authorities of the state were strengthened and women from that state have more skills on political participation and are more inform ed on political violence. The electoral institute of Oaxaca have access to cultural-sensitive information to be used in communication campaigns on prevention of violence against women in politics thanks to a package of cultural-sensitive written and audio materials, facilitated by the CO, that is intended be used in communication campaigns on prevention of violence against women in politics, in Spanish and in the two most spoken indigenous languages in the state: Mixteco and Zapoteco. Traducci&oacute;n Mixteco Traducci&oacute;n Zapoteco Also, audio spots were elaborated to be used and disseminated by the local electoral institute highlighting the importance of women&rsquo;s political leadership and sharing some strategies to prevent online violence against women in politics. CO elaborated and shared with local institutions a series of recommendations to improve their response to VAWP , based on testimonies, legal dispositions, and the identified barriers that women face when denouncing VAWP. <a data-auth="Verified" data-linkindex="10" href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/b-59584e83/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funwomen-my.sharepoint.com%2F%3Ab%3A%2Fg%2Fpersonal%2Ffrancisco_camarena_unwomen_org%2FEeeQVm9KPNxCrQCkDblBjpIBzGdPmDktqPEL15ZCHvyzWA%3Fe%3DJ11A0P&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cjessi

By 2025, the Mexican State plans with territorial, population and gender perspective, inclusive strategies to generate shared prosperity that reduces inequality and poverty.

Considerable progress was made towards this outcome in 2022. Local authorities have better information and tools on how to incorporate women&rsquo;s participation and gender perspective in their comprehensive risk-management strategies . 27 officials from the Women's Secretariat and seven city halls in Mexico City are sensitized on the importance of including gender perspective in disaster risk management. Public servants know the administrative, institutional and financial areas of opportunity to integrate gender perspective. This knowledge is the result of a collaboration between UNDP, UN Women and the Secretariat for Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection in the 1st workshop "Building the foundations for Comprehensive Risk Management with a perspective of gender" . Local authorities have access to high-quality information and tools to better address and monitor violence against women in politics at the local level, with a focus on indigenous women . The Oaxaca State Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute (IEEPCO) and UN Women carried out the "Investigation that explores the possible relationships between gender parity and violence against women in the political sphere in municipalities governed by Indigenous Regulatory Systems in Oaxaca." , investigation results highlights still a long way to go to achieve parity in Mexican municipalities, where only 28% are governed by women and of which 5% are governed by Indigenous Regulatory Systems. Women municipal presidents, councilors and community leaders exposed needs for training, recognition within the Assemblies, economic support, legal and psychological support, as well as the guarantee of their political-electoral rights. The IEEPCO, supported by UN Women, put into operation the "Model for the registration, follow-up and monitoring of cases of political violence against women based on gender" as part of the actions to prevent, address and eradicate violence against women in Oaxaca. This is the first model at the national level that follows up on cases of political violence focusing on the victims and seeks to provide greater efficiency in access to justice and contribute to the full political participation of women. New ways to Build Spatial Data Infrastructure for Gender Equality and Sustainability , and to improve the availability of information on the demand, supply and accessibility of care services, are available through the study: "Intra-urban indicators of inequalities of gender associated with the spatial entrapment of women" . The results were disseminated in the International Seminar: "Building Spatial Data Infrastructure for Gender Equality and Sustainability", on March 22, 2022. UN agencies, governments, academia, civil society and multilateral development banks have new data and knowledge about the push factors of Central American migration and gender issues such as violence against women and girls, the impact of climate change and COVID 19, and their situation of socioeconomic vulnerability, as well as with public policy recommendations to address and respect the human rights of the migrant population. The study: "Central American migration: factors of attraction and expulsion of the Guatemalan, Salvadoran and Honduran population incorporating the perspective of gender&rdquo; was developed by the CEGS in coordination with El Colegio de la Frontera Norte. Users and policymakers have a new geographic information tool to visualize the supply, demand and location of care services . UN Women through the CEGS, in partnership with INMUJERES in collaboration with El Colegio de M&eacute;xico (COLMEX), built a National Map of Care, as a support tool for users and policy makers, that allows visualizing: a) availability and location of care services in formal establishments; b) demand for care of three population groups: children (0 to 11 years), older adults (65 years and over) and people with disabilities; c) accessibility to services for these populations and for women with and without paid work. Two knowledge products that contribute to the design and construction of the National Care System, were developed in collaboration with COLMEX: 1) &ldquo;Analysis of policies, social programs and budgets, as well as the infrastructure available to contribute to the System of Care in the United Mexican States&rdquo;, and 2) &ldquo;Qualitative analysis that serves to support the National System of Care in the United Mexican States: construction and testing of an instrument to know the social representations of care in Mexico&rdquo;. The international community has a new methodological tool : "Enhancing the accuracy of gender data: Cognitive testing of wordings associated with supervisory care&rdquo; to improve the operationalization of the care supervision concept in time use measurement instruments. The exploratory study was developed by the CEGS in collaboration with COLMEX, and a specialized advisor of Women Count in Asia Pacific and members of the Expert Group for the Innovation of Time Use Surveys of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). Mexico's National Gender Equality Policy was strengthened with the support of UN Women by the strategic alliance with the National Women's Institute. 195 people (188 women and 7 men) have information on the full exercise of their agrarian rights, access to land, political and community participation; 23 women members of agrarian communities in 18 states of the country strengthened their capacities and leadership in the recognition of agrarian rights and/or defense of land and territory; 99 agrarian visitors (29 women and 70 men) from 20 states in the country have the elements to generate mechanisms for accompanying and assisting ejidos and agrarian communities, integrating gender, intercultural and human rights perspectives. More than 600 women in contexts of mobility were supported and participated in activities that sought to provide them and their families with psycho-social well-being. 51 journalists from national and local media were provided with practical tools and materials to adequately cover cases of gender violence and/or femicides and information on gender violence. Knowledge products were developed to strengthen the MUCPAZ Strategy; to promote regulatory changes such as the National Care System Law; to strengthen the National Policy between Women and Men and to contribute to the strategy to prevent and eradicate sexual harassment; and the virtual course "Life without violence" was developed to provide public service personnel with elements to provide first contact care to women facing violence. The production, analysis and use of gender statistics was strengthened in Mexico and in the LAC region. In particular, the importance of having information systems on care in intergovernmental mechanisms such as the Statistical Commission of the Americas (SCA-ECLAC) and the XV Regional Conference on Women was consolidated . Likewise, National Statistics Offices (NSO) and Mechanisms for the Advancement of Women (MAW) strengthened their capacities and shared their experiences to move forward in a coordinated manner on this issue, starting from the XXIII International Meeting on Gender Statistics "Care at the center of development: statistical opportunities and challenges" and the &ldquo;20th International Meeting of Information Specialists on Time Use and Unpaid Work&rdquo;. carried out at the INEGI headquarters in Aguascalientes, Mexico. there were more than 120 face-to-face participants, including Twelve NSO and 12 MAW; there were 600 participants by zoom and more than 2,000 virtual visits to social media networks.

By 2025, the Mexican State plans with territorial, population and gender perspective, inclusive strategies to generate shared prosperity that reduces inequality and poverty.

Relevant progress was achieved in this outcome during 2024. Standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in Mexico have been strengthened with the support of UN Women in advocacy. The project Strengthening the national gender equality policy and compliance with international commitments on women's and girls' human rights in the United Mexican States between INMUJERES and UN Women contributed to SDG 5 achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls. Care Observatory (OCU) : Interactive platform into the Care Map of Mexico, receiving 21,182 visits by the end of 2024, offering infographics on care supply, demand, and infrastructure, aiding in understanding care issues. Knowledge Products: Diagnostic study in the Santa Martha Acatitla Penitentiary Center, proposing a care-centered penitentiary model. Caring Fatherhoods: Reflections on Families and Transforming Gender Identities Promotion of the Human Rights of Migrant Women in Mexico , reflecting on right of care, and the report "The Public Offer of Care in Mexico: Challenges to be Addressed," offering policy proposals for the government. Academic Forum: Over 150 women participated in the 'Territories of Care' forum, contributing to the XVI Regional Conference on Women in LAC, fostering dialogue on integrating care systems into public policies. Women's Leadership and Participation in Decision-Making Spaces: To strengthen women's political-electoral rights, specialized knowledge products, including technical, training, and legal tools, were utilized by political participation observatories. Women's Peace and Security Agenda: Around 30,000 women in 1,600 MUCPAZ networks, were supported by INMUJERES, the Ministry of Security, and UN Women, promoting peacebuilding and conflict resolution in communities. 300 women assessed impact of the Women Peacebuilders Networks Strategy at the National Dialogue of Women Building Peace. Women, Adolescents, and Girls in Mobility Contexts: Through the Gender and Migration project, 2,527 legal and psychological services provided by SEIGEN; 1,003 women supported by the Well-being Circuits for Migrant Women strategy in Tapachula, Chiapas, and two audiovisual capsules promoting human rights and inclusion of migrant women in Mexico. Production of Gender Statistics: 887 participants from 30 countries discussed care needs, women's economic autonomy, time use, gender-based violence, SDG indicators, and innovation at the XXV International Meeting on Gender Statistics. Professionalization of Public Service Personnel: 2,124 public servants were trained on new forms of violence as defined by the General Law on Women's Access to a Life Free of Violence, to prevent, address, and sanction violence against women and girls. Public service personnel participated at the 'Gender Equality, Health, and Information for Decision-Making,' held by INMUJERES, UN Women, Ministry of Health, and INEGI. Compliance with National Policy on Equality between Women and Men: The &ldquo; Listen, Include, and Transform. Six Years of Leftist Feminist Policy &rdquo; report outlines six years of leftist feminist policy, detailing INMUJERES efforts to comply with the PROIGUALDAD 2020-2024 program. Mexico has made remarkable strides in the generation, analysis, and use of gender statistics . Mexico&acute;s Global Centre of Excellence on Gender Statistics (CEGS), a strategic alliance between UN Women and the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), produced a variety of knowledge products on gender statistics and facilitated platforms for sharing experiences and best practices, such as the XXV International Meeting on Gender Statistics "25 Years of Partnerships to Strengthen Evidence-Based Equality Policies," which gathered 887 participants from 30 countries. Also, knowledge products were produced jointly with INEGI and El Colegio de M&eacute;xico (Colmex) on gender and climate change and its intersection with issues such as care, georeferenced data, climate justice, as well as to promote the rights of women environmental defenders In 2024, UN Women Mexico and the CEGS developed two pivotal gender assessments: the Gender Profile and the Gender Snapshot for Mexico, which provided evidence-based information to inform Mexico's Common Country Analysis (CCA) and United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDF). UN Women Mexico and the CEGS supported the integration of information sources to map the potential supply and demand for care in the country, the estimation of the costs and returns of implementing care services, and the identification of caregiver profiles in the Municipality of Monterrey. Additionally, a survey adapted to household-based care was designed and implemented, based on the National Care Survey (ENASIC), to enrich local data. These models are designed to be replicable in other municipalities. In 2024, the pilot implementation of the Statistical Framework for Measuring Gender-Related Killings of Women and Girls (femicide/feminicide) was conducted in Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, with the support of CEGS, UNODC-INEGI Center of Excellence and UN Women Regional Office. This initiative involved extensive interviews with institutions responsible for compiling and generating statistics on these crimes, focusing on data registration processes and statistical methods used. Key preliminary practices emerged, including the establishment of inter-institutional coordination mechanisms to facilitate data sharing and consistency across the criminal justice system. Additionally, the adoption of the International Classification of Crimes for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) improved data comparability and quality, resulted in more robust statistics. This pilot strengthens the statistical capacity of participating countries and provides a framework for developing evidence-based policies against gender-based violence.

By 2025, the Mexican State plans with territorial, population and gender perspective, inclusive strategies to generate shared prosperity that reduces inequality and poverty.

Relevant progress was achieved in this outcome in 2023. Key contributions of UN Women in alliance with national stakeholders to the advancement include the development of evidence-based policies and promoting applied research from a gender perspective . The strategy has been innovative and has allowed for sustained work that is reflected in products and consolidated knowledge networks and has contributed to the establishment of coordination mechanisms and regulatory frameworks. UN Women supported and provided technical assistance, knowledge strategies and capacity building to the INMUJERES in implementing the national policy of equality between women and men in Mexico with actions that fostered women&acute;s leadership; participation and economic empowerment; the role of women in the peace and security agenda; the rights of women, adolescents and girls in contexts of mobility; policy dialogue; knowledge products; and compliance with national and international commitments on women's rights. In a very outstanding way, INMUJERES, El Colegio de M&eacute;xico and UN Women launched the Mexico Care Map (MACU) . With the Care Map of Mexico is possible to estimate: a) availability and location of care services in formal facilities in two categories: direct care, whose main purpose is to provide care, such as day care centers; and indirect care, accompanying care, such as schools; b) potential demand for care estimated in three population groups: children (0 to 11 years old), senior citizens (65 years old and over), and persons with disabilities; c) relationship between the supply of care services and the level of women's labor force participation and d) accessibility to care services, measured both in terms of institutional restrictions (eligibility) and urban accessibility. To build the Map, data from three sources of information were integrated: the Directory National Statistical Office of Economic Units (DENUE), the 2020 Population and Housing Census and the Characteristics of the Urban Environment 2020. The three databases can be consulted in the portal of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). The historical leadership and accumulated work in gender statistics of the Mexico office has led to the formation of an area with impact at the regional level, which works to improve the collection and analysis of data and statistics, as well as to expand its use in the design and development of public policies. Mexico&acute;s institutions have improved its production and use of gender statistics thanks to joint efforts by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), INMUJERES, UN Women in Mexico and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). This year two pivotal annual events were jointly organized: the XXIV International Meeting on Gender Statistics and the 21st International Experts Meeting on Time Use and Unpaid Work (RIUT) . The XXV International Meeting on Gender Statistics, held in September in Aguascalientes, Mexico, was paramount platform for reflection, analysis, and debate on the utilization and production of gender statistics. Simultaneously, the 21st International Experts Meeting on Time Use and Unpaid Work (RIUT), facilitated the technical exchange of recent experiences among Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries that have statistical mechanisms to measure time use, particularly by women. These events aimed to catalyze the transfer of knowledge and identify ways to enhance the measurement of time use and gender statistics to inform the design of public policies on care and gender equality. UN Women Mexico promoted south-south and triangular cooperation in the framework of the 2030 Development Agenda and SDGs, in the framework of the Flagship Programme &ldquo;Making every woman and girl count&rdquo; and the regional strategy for south-south cooperation under Mexico&rsquo;s leadership. UN Women through the Global Centre of Excellence on Gender Statistics (CEGS) provided valuable tools for collecting, enhancing, and utilizing information about care, violence, and migration using a geospatial and gender perspective . In close coordination with UN Women global program "Women Count" and with UNW LAC RO extends to various stakeholders, including United Nations Agencies, INEGI, and El Colegio de M&eacute;xico, developed knowledge products and organized several events, emphasizing the importance of implementing an Integrated Care System nationwide, delved into the interconnection of care work, gender, and geospatial analysis: At the XXIV Meeting on Gender Statistics, Mexico launched a National Survey for the Care System (ENASIC) and the Care Map, which allow the identification of available care services and visualizing key indicators for decision-makers. Furthermore, three municipal governments received technical assistance in developing care systems. UN Women forged an alliance with the municipal government of Monterrey to develop normative, statistical and geospatial products, aiming to establish the groundwork for a municipal care system. On the critical issue of violence, the partnership between CEGS and the UNODC-INEGI Center of Excellence in Statistical Information on Government, Crime, Victimization and Justice in coordination with UNW EVAW Section, Women Count and LAC RO produced the Statistical framework for measuring the gender-related killing of women and girls (femicide/feminicide) . This framework, aims to identify and categorize gender-related killings, laying the groundwork for a pilot implementation in selected countries. Collaboration of UN Women with the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the National Institute for Women (INMUJERES), and INEGI resulted in an International Expert Meeting on Measuring gender-based violence against women and girls: lessons learned and challenges . Participants, including key figures from the National Center for Crime Prevention and Citizen Participation, and the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary of Mexico, highlighted needs for improvement in administrative records, emphasizing the potential of incorporating geospatial and gender perspectives in information capture and generation. UN Women Mexico has historically sought to actively collaborate with government institutions, UN agencies and different academic institutions and knowledge centers to produce evidence and solid knowledge. An example of this is the significant and long-lasting collaboration with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and El Colegio de M&eacute;xico (COLMEX). Together, they have contributed to the generation of knowledge and have promoted a solid research agenda on gender equality, fundamental for the development and promotion of public policies.
