2025 is a pivotal year for the global pursuit of gender equality and women’s empowerment focused on Law Firms. The theme of the International Women’s Day 2025 campaign is “Accelerate Action.”
Collectively, we can accelerate action for gender equality and reflect on the progress made and challenges we women still face especially in the legal professional field in Mexico.
In this context, it is essential to accelerate initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality at all levels of the legal profession. The legal profession has historically been dominated by men, which has resulted in an environment where women have had to struggle to be heard and to gain access to leadership positions, equal pay, policies that favor work-life balance, as well as training and awareness programs that contribute to a more inclusive and discrimination-free environment.
The need to accelerate action as a message on this day highlights the importance of adopting quick and decisive measures to achieve gender equality, such as fostering mentoring programs and support networks within law firms to help young women starting their careers in the legal sphere, which will help them access better opportunities and prepare them for leadership roles in the future.
We recognize the strategies, resources and activities that positively impact the advancement of women in our Firm in order to have a fairer and more equitable environment for them to be fulfilled in their working lives. We still have a long way to go but we are aware that “Accelerating Action” will ensure that women have a voice and are heard in strategic committees for their professional development and that a culture of respect and trust is permanently promoted.
