The emergency derived from COVID-19 caused a greater impact among women and deepened existing gender inequalities. More than 1 million women lost their jobs in Mexico in the last year as a result of the health crisis, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).

In addition, a large number of women between 25 and 44 years of age operate in the informal sector, which prevents them from receiving financing, training and other incentives that are available in the formal sector, warned Sonia Garza, national president of the Mexican Association of Business Women (AMMJE).

The economic empowerment of women is a fundamental key to achieving true equality.
