The National Council to Prevent Discrimination created by the Federal Law to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination, which was adopted on 29 April 2003, and published in the Official Journal of the Federation (DOF) on 11 June of that year.
Together with the Secretariat of Social Development (SEDESOL), the council conducted a National Survey on Discrimination in 2005 to systematically collect information on the state of intolerance in Mexico.
