LEON TOVAR, Soyla H.. Gender Parity in the Boards of Directors of Mexican Corporations and Limited Liability Companies). Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.158, pp.789-824. Epub 14-Ene-2022. ISSN 2448-4873. https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484873e.2020.158.15636.
Although our country has adopted a determined policy towards the equal participation of women in political, educational, health and economic activities, driven by institutions such as the United Nations (UN Women), the International Labor Organization (ILO), the European Commission (EC), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and other social organizations; However, neither the General Law on Mercantile Corporations (LGSM) nor the Securities Market Law (LMV) require female participation in the boards of directors (CA) of corporations, although there was a reform initiative that did not succeed and a second one presented in March 2019 subsists only for stock corporations (hereinafter SAB or listed). The absence of parity quotas in the CA makes the natural process of insertion of women in the fundamental decision making of companies and the exercise and effective enjoyment of their human rights of equal opportunities pitiful and tortuous, which, according to the Davos report (World Economic Forum, hereinafter FEM 2018, VIII), will require at least 60 years for the closing of the global gender gap in Mexico.
