I am from Mexico, political system here can be misogyinist sometimes, eventhough it has improved a lot there is still inequality. So what actions can we take to have gender equality. For example in terms of the Presidency, when a woman runs sometimes man do not vote for her even if she is a great candidate because of her gender and "machismo" in Mexico so I am very interested in learing from other Countries methods to change this mindset
Erin Gregor
