Women's rights and feminist socialism discussed in Venezuela and Mexico

In Aragua, Venezuela, the Nora Castañeda International School of Women's Leadership hosted a discussion titled “Feminist Socialism towards Equality and Peace.” The event, held to commemorate National Feminist Socialism Day, focused on the history and practice of the women's movement. Speaker Gisela Jiménez Aranguren discussed the connection between the working class and feminist thought, arguing that capitalism deepens gender inequality and that socialism aims to ensure social justice and female emancipation.

In Mexico, commemorations marked the 73rd anniversary of women gaining the right to vote and hold office in federal elections. The milestone is noted for its long-term impact on political inclusion, highlighted by the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. The history of this movement includes early 20th-century activism in regions like Yucatán, where women organized congresses, civic processions, and hunger strikes to demand full political citizenship.
