Mexico's National Electoral Institute (INE) has directed national political parties to collectively allocate 236,379,950 pesos to bolster women's political leadership. This significant sum represents 3% of the parties' total ordinary financing for the 2027 fiscal year.

The funds are earmarked for programs focused on training, promotion, and development aimed at increasing women's participation in political life. The INE stated that this mandate ensures public resources translate into concrete actions that advance substantive equality and women's political representation across Mexico.

Each party's allocated amount was detailed: Morena is required to contribute 80,561,507 pesos, followed by PAN with 39,971,982 pesos, PRI with 30,257,946 pesos, and MC with 29,852,594 pesos. PVEM must allocate 25,627,122 pesos, PT 20,653,601 pesos, and both Somos México and PAZ must contribute 4,727,599 pesos each.

The INE's General Council, with the support of the Commission on Prerogatives and Political Parties, will oversee and audit the expenditure of these funds. This oversight aims to guarantee that every peso is used in accordance with the law, serving as an effective tool to consolidate women's leadership in all spheres of democratic life.
