Women in Mexican Society

The most vulnerable populations of women in Mexico are indigenous women and maquiladora workers. Women gained the right to vote 62 years ago, but their legal and economic rights vary among Mexican states. The government protects equal rights inconsistently.

Women say they lack reproductive health care, with one doctor for every 25,000 people. Their efforts to defend their families are undermined by social norms that condemn female political involvement and public speaking.

En español:

En el día internacional de la mujer, en México las diferencias sociales se hacen marcadas, podemos ver a niñas felices junto a su madre y a niñas observando a su madre pidiendo unas monedas para poder comer.

La clase media regularmente es la que puede desenvolverse, las mujeres de este estrato participan en diversas actividades, muchas mas son trabajadoras.

Morenas, blancas, altas, chaparritas, la única constante, son mujeres mexicanas.
