On Friday , the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Branch (TEPJF) ordered
the Technical Evaluation Committee to modify the call for selection of advisory positions at the National Electoral Institute (INE) so that the presidential nominee is composed solely of women. The judges emphasized that this reverses the historical trend of the electoral body
, which has always been headed by men.
In practice, the organization 's next general council , with 11 seats, will be guaranteed to include five women, five men, and the president.
From the creation of the Federal Electoral Institute in 1990 until its dissolution, that body had 12 presidents. Although two of those presidents were women, this only occurred for specific sessions
, the TEPJF ruling states.
The above data shows that there has indeed been an exclusion of women from the presidency of the governing body of the highest administrative authority in electoral matters
.
the presence of women in the public sphere can contribute not only to demasculinizing politics, but also to defeminizing care work and tasks.
The document emphasizes the application of the principle of gender alternation in this position, in line with recent constitutional reforms approved to protect the principle of full gender parity in all elected and decision-making positions.
