Yet, as shown in the previous chapters, gender gaps still exist - namely in employment, unpaid work, violence, and access to decisionmaking positions. A fundamental piece of the puzzle is establishing a system than can deliver Mexico’s commitments to gender equality. In addition to building a gender perspective into the policy process (Chapter 6), Mexico’s capacity to overcome gender gaps depends on the quality of the institutional framework for designing and, most importantly, implementing gender-sensitive policies. This chapter seeks to complement Chapter 6 on gender mainstreaming and to single out the key elements of effective governance for gender equality.
