In Chiapas, thousands of women marched in Tuxtla Gutiérrez to defend the ‘Effective Parity Electoral Reform’. The initiative, promoted by Governor Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar and approved by the State Congress on September 14, aims to ensure women lead municipal governments ahead of the 2027 electoral process.

The mobilization follows a legal challenge to the reform, which is currently awaiting a resolution from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN). Participants, including feminist collectives and legislators, demanded that legal parity results in substantive representation in public decision-making.
