Gender equality and economic protection initiatives in Latin

Overview

Legislative and governmental efforts to advance gender equality and economic protections for women are progressing in Mexico, Panama, and Ecuador.

In Mexico, legislative proposals have been introduced to improve access to child support payments by addressing judicial delays and income verification issues. In Panama, initiatives include a proposed matrimonial compensatory pension to address economic imbalances for spouses focused on domestic labor, as well as a collaboration between the Ministry of Social Development and the International Labour Organization to update national protocols regarding workplace violence and harassment.

In Ecuador, the National Council for Gender Equality is working with the Military Geographic Institute to implement a national gender equality agenda through 2029, utilizing cartographic resources to tailor public policies to specific regional social and cultural realities.
