Statement of Mexico at the General Assembly Debate, September 20, 2016

Another of the cross-cutting issues of the 2030 Agenda is gender perspectives and the empowerment of women. In fulfilling the commitments reached at last year’s meeting of global leaders for equality, Mexico now has a stronger institutional framework: the national system for equality between women and men. This system is headed by Mexico’s President, thereby ensuring that the quality policy is upheld at the highest level and is reflected in the national government’s various actions.
