It is urgent to de-dramatize the issue of women in society, if what we really want is for justice to be done. Numbers, then, more than praise, are essential this day to start attending to the pending agenda.
Because this, ladies and gentlemen, is not an episode of La Rosa de Guadalupe. It will not be a light breeze, but a series of tornadoes in the thinking and doing of society and government, which will lead us to evolve in substantive equality.
Although every day there is a greater female population incorporated into productive life, deep inequality gaps persist, observes Dr. Teresa Guerra, head of the State Government’s Secretariat for Women. Of every 100 people who work outside the home in Sinaloa, only 38 are women, against 62 men, she exemplifies her. A difference of 23 points in favor of men.
In the same way, she adds, in salary range, women receive 33 percent less than men, only because of their gender, even if they perform the same job as men.
Currently, the Women’s Secretariat joins efforts with the Economy Secretariat, based on Governor Rubén Rocha Moya’s disposition, in order to carry out a diagnostic review of Sinaloan women in productive life. Based on their potentialities and strengths, the goals to be met will be defined.
Yesterday the Expo Mujer was inaugurated in Culiacán, as part of the commemorative activities in Sinaloa of International Women’s Day. Governor Rocha attended, accompanied by the Secretary for Women, Tere Guerra, and the Secretary for the Economy, Javier Gaxiola.
Entrepreneurship in women, said Rocha, is essential to move forward the economy of a state, and this exhibition is proof of it.
The companies that show their products and services at the expo were forged during the pandemic, in a scenario where women have set an example of resilience.
The creation of a Secretariat for Women in his administration is not out of style, the governor established. “What matters here is consistency, that we are serving women with great sensitivity,” he asserted.
Among those attending the event were the Secretary General of the Government, Enrique Inzunza Cázarez, the Undersecretary for Women, Rosa Elena Millán Bueno, the Undersecretary for Welfare, María Ines Pérez Corral, and the Coordinator of Advisors, José Isabel Ibarra.
It is worth, to close this topic, a necessary note: today is not a day to congratulate women, but to recognize them, understand their struggle and honor the memory of those who have been killed or martyred for gender reasons. On March 8, 1908, at least 129 female workers died in a fire at the New York factory where they had gone on strike.
A day, then, to commemorate, not to celebrate.
CRIMINAL ROUGHNESS. In the eye of the hurricane is Mikel Arriola, son-in-law of the substitute senator for Sinaloa Heriberto Galindo, after the unfortunate episode of violence in the La Corregidora stadium, unprecedented in history.
Arriola, who went from being the national director of the IMSS in the previous six-year term to occupying the presidency of the Mexican Soccer League (or Liga MX), is severely questioned about the lack of security that gave rise to the “black Saturday” in Querétaro, whose figures Yesterday, officials reported 26 wounded, three of them serious.
The truth is that it is a topic with many edges that, it is predicted, will continue uncovering sewers. Be?
