Mexico leaders address women's labor and leadership challenges
In Mexico, labor leaders and government officials are addressing systemic barriers facing women in the workforce. Desiré Madrigal, general secretary of FENACIE and a leader of the CTC, met with Supreme Court Minister Yasmín Esquivel Mossa to discuss the difficulties young female workers face in accessing dignified housing. Madrigal noted that insufficient wages, job instability, and precarious employment conditions prevent many women from building assets. She highlighted that while 15.9 million young people participate in the labor market, 60 percent work in informal or precarious roles.
Separately, in Querétaro, the Secretary of Women, Sonia Rocha Acosta, called for increased female leadership within the electromechanical industry. Speaking at the Eighth Expo ElectriB 2026, Rocha Acosta emphasized the need to create conditions that allow more women to access decision-making roles to close existing inequality gaps.
