INEGI warns of gaps in statistics on women

The lack of detailed statistical information on women’s living conditions hinders the accurate identification of inequalities and the assessment of progress in gender equality. Without robust data, it is impossible to design effective public policies to combat discrimination and violence, thereby perpetuating historical gaps in the representation of those facing multiple forms of exclusion. The production of independent statistics is not only a technical necessity but also a form of resistance against patriarchal structures that have silenced these realities. It is essential to incorporate the perspectives of civil society organizations and communities so that data reflect workloads, care responsibilities, and specific forms of violence, transforming international commitments into concrete and measurable actions. This issue is relevant to open data because it underscores that transparency and the quality of public information are prerequisites for accountability and substantive equality. Only through inclusive, disaggregated, and accessible statistical systems can governments and society monitor the fulfillment of rights, allocate appropriate budgets, and ensure that no woman is left behind in the pursuit of a more just society.
