The Women in Sheinbaum's Cabinet
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo bets on gender parity in her working cabinet
“I am not arriving alone, we are all arriving,” was one of the most notable phrases from Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s speech after her victory in the June 2 elections, which will make her the first woman to assume the presidential seat of Mexico.

However, the elected president will not be the only woman representing Mexican women during this term, as the federal cabinet will include 21 women in charge of various ministries that make up the federal government.
Despite the historic achievement of a woman becoming president of Mexico for the first time, gender parity in the federal cabinet is not new.
In 2018, with the election of current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the first gender-equal federal cabinet was formed, with half of the ministries led by women. This broke glass ceilings, especially in two key departments: the Ministry of the Interior, led by Olga Sánchez Cordero, and the Ministry of Economy, headed by Graciela Márquez.

For this new administration, parity brings the creation of two new ministries, both headed by women: the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, which will emerge from elevating the National Institute for Women (INMUJERES) to ministry level and will be led by Citlalli Hernández, and the Ministry of Science, Humanities, Technology, and Innovation, which will replace the National Council of Humanities, Sciences, and Technologies (Conahcyt) and will be headed by Rosaura Ruiz Gutiérrez.
