The integral health of the human being implies living in a healthy environment and in social harmony, hence the importance of arriving at a sociopolitical sphere of healthy social coexistence with an inclusive and egalitarian character. In this sense, the objective of analyzing the evolution and impact of the political reform of gender parity in the State of Mexico, approved in the Congress of the Union in 2014, was raised to account for the obstacles and advances of the gender equality that contributes to the democratization process of the entity and therefore a better social harmony that contributes to generating a healthier environment of political coexistence. For which, a quantitative study of the presence of women in the local congress and the Mexican municipalities was carried out, through the review of the databases of official electoral results during the last three electoral processes. Among the main findings, the fact that there are still multiple obstacles, both regulatory and partisan interests, that hinder effective gender parity during the period 2015-2021 stands out. Finally, it is once again evident that political behavior and decision-making does not depend solely on the legal framework and the approval of laws, but on the co-responsibility of values and principles that support and promote gender equality, both of the political class and of society in general.
