Flexible working is the most popular, and quota setting is the least favoured, gender parity initiative in Mexico, according to a new report
The report, which is the latest in the study ‘50:50 by 2030: a longitudinal study into gender disparity in law’, an initiative by the International Bar Association (IBA) and the LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation (LNROLF), found the highest-rated initiative in terms of efficacy in Mexico was leadership training for women, mirroring previous findings in Spain and the Netherlands.
Norma Lucía Piña Hernández, President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, said ‘structural barriers persist’ but progress has been made.
In Mexico, women make up 34% of lawyers overall, 36% of judges, 22% of magistrates and five of its 11 Supreme Court judges.
