Throughout Claudia Sheinbaum's administration, who is the first female president elected in Mexico, there has been legislative progress to eliminate gender inequality and discrimination- but there are still various past government policies that affect their effective implementation. Primarily, organizations and institutions still lack sufficient financial resources to combat gender or sexist stereotypes and biases that produce the idea that women are caregivers. Other issues the Mexican feminist call for is action to reduce the high number of femicides, rape, sexual torture of imprisoned women by state agents, and female disappearances. Additionally, there are notable gaps in prosecuting violence against women, which fall short of ensuring accountability and justice for the victims as well as providing resources and support for female victim-survivors— there are calls for an anti-discrimination budget that would focus on creating shelters and social centers throughout the country. In addition, women have voiced the need for abortion to be addressed in health law instead of solely within penal codes. So, overall, the general trend of this article is that even though Sheinbaum's government has taken a feminist approach to her presidency, there is still significant action needed to better protect women's rights.
