UNDP Representative Urges Mexico to Improve Gender Equality
 Xinhua
A United Nations Development Program (UNDP) representative, Thierry Lemaresquier, called on Mexico to improve equality between men and women on Wednesday.
According to a UNDP report called "Human and General Development Indicators," there was serious sex discrimination in Mexico City and the southern state of Chiapas.
Lemaresquier said the Mexican government and society in general must work to achieve gender equality.
The winner of Mexico's July 2 general elections "must work hard to resolve this problem," the UNDP representative said.
However, Lemaresquier said he recognized it was hard for the main presidential candidates to alter their administrative programs based on the results of Wednesday's report, which discussed the inequalities between men and women, and its impact on the development of the country.
Luis Felipe Lopez Calva, director of the UNDP's Mexican office said Mexico's political parties must take the report into account. |
