INE presents the project “ZERO political violence against women in Mexico”

“The greater the participation, the greater the presence of women in public spaces, we also witness greater violence,” lamented Lorenzo Córdova, president of the INE.

It is, he said, a long road that we still have a long way to go, “but we must also take charge that we must take care of and seek what we have achieved; to exorcise, therefore, regressions that, in this matter, as in general in the consolidation and strengthening, in the defense of democracy, are not acceptable either”.

Juan López-Dóriga Pérez, Spanish ambassador to the United Mexican States, said that the fight against violence against women manifests itself in many ways, also in their political and social participation, hence the importance of this issue.

“Obviously, behind these three institutions there are other actors such as civil society, political parties and groups, candidates, especially women in indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities who look forward to having better protection to exercise their political and freedom rights. participation,” he noted.
