Social and labor reforms in Guanajuato
Overview
In Guanajuato, authorities and legislators are addressing social and labor vulnerabilities through various safety and legal initiatives.
To combat violence against women, the Secretariat for Women has trained 255 employees at the Guanajuato International Airport to provide sensitive guidance to women and girls in emergencies. This follows reports from labor representatives in Salamanca, where the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM) noted that female workers face robberies and violence while waiting for transit. Some reports suggest that between 40% and 50% of workers in certain sectors have left their jobs due to general insecurity.
On the legislative front, the Congress of Guanajuato has approved reforms to the State Youth Law to include an intersectional approach regarding socio-economic vulnerability and disabilities. Additionally, a proposal has been introduced to improve conditions for elderly supermarket volunteers, known as ‘cerillitos’, to ensure they receive a base wage and access to social security.
