Morelia, Michoacan.-gender parity and inclusive language in the laws are not extraordinary principles and they must not constitute elements which become objects of Exchange by political interests; they are attributes that constitute a mark, a hallmark of a society that advances and evolving towards scenarios of absolute substantive equality, said Mrs Cristina Portillo Ayala.
Introducing today here an initiative of reform in the different articles of the basic law and procedures of the Congress of the State of Michoacán de Ocampo – as in his current condition does not consider the principle of parity and managed, in fact, exclusionary language-, He acknowledged progress in Mexico towards substantive equality, but women still are not in political decision-making positions. Even in the Congress where the important positions are for men.
In Gallery, asked deputies and deputies, analyze this reform initiative to the internal law of the Congress in a very timely manner, do so, “will go down in history as an inclusive Conference that achieves the necessary reforms so that substantive equality in” our own rules, become a reality”.

There, established parity as a constitutional principle whose goal is substantive equality between the sexes, for political rights election of citizens to exercise equal.
The parity is now in Mexico by constitutional decree, a measure permanent to achieve the inclusion of women in the areas of public decision.
However, let me clarify, “obviously electoral politician, can not hold the condition of parity in the sphere of rights only because although women today exercise the right to be candidates for posts of popular election and won them, still we are not in the” strategic positions of political decision-making, as it should be”.
In this perspective, “today must navigate toward a new stage on which to build a legal environment that will enable to materialize the direct participation of women in areas of greater decision-making power,” said Cristina Portillo sentenced than women in Mexico, and particularly in Michoacan, “must participate in the areas where decisions that determine the collective life of the men and women in society.
