In 2023, Norma Lucía Piña Hernández became President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, being the first woman ever to hold that position. However, achieving gender parity remains an ongoing challenge in both the state and federal systems. In the federal courts, women currently are only 28% of lower court judges and magistrates and 39% of Superior Federal Court judges. In the State Courts, women comprise 43% of magistrates and judges.

Systemic issues and societal perceptions continue to pose barriers to gender equality. However, the establishment of the Mexico Chapter of the International Association of Women Judges (MC-IAWJ) signifies an important step in mobilizing women judges and safeguarding judicial integrity.
