Currently the movement feminist has acquired quite a lot of strength (especially during the last few years) in the society of Mexicowhere women and men they have been informed more and more about the change that is sought to be developed, leaving behind endless stereotypes and social constructions acquired decades ago.
The movement may seek different results depending on each of its aspects; however, they all have a common guiding base that serves as an inspiration for the others. According to Dr. Marilú Rojas Salazar, a Mexican theological researcher who is a member of the Chair of Feminist Theology at the Universidad Iberoamericana, the feminism is a political, social and philosophical movement radical that seeks to affirm women as people with rights; however, their mission could vary considerably depending on the source of the information.

Women, men and feminist companies in Mexico
One of the main reasons why the feminism is becoming an increasingly strong topic (in the business world), it is due to the gender pay gap which is considerably present, at least in America Latin. According to the Statista study where it shows the 2021 gender earnings gap index, Mexico It positioned itself as one of the worst rated countries in Latin America in terms of this gap with an index of 0.506, where Mexican women workers earn barely half of the income estimated to be earned by men in the country.
This type of data has caused more and more companies are in favor of equal rights and opportunities for women in the workplacethus improving its image, brand value and perception in the mind of the consumer through different initiatives.
Among them, we could see a few years ago that companies began to join the March 9 movement, where women from different countries and areas would not leave their homes and would miss their respective jobs as a protest against gender violence, inequality and culture of machismo promoted as “a day without us“.
Likewise, there are different initiatives that have promoted women so that they have the same opportunities to grow in the world of work, as the Semillero Nutrisa program demonstrated some time ago, which seeks to support the female population to start a business and increase their income; In the same way, Belcorp showed its position to encourage women to achieve their personal and professional fulfillment, promoting entrepreneurship in order to have a considerable income in their day to day.
