Indigenous People in political system in México

Indigenous women's participation in politics in Mexico continues to lag behind indigenous men and the rest of the female population in the country.

A report by the United Nations Program for Development (UNDP) noted that in Mexico, for a total of 14 Indian MPs in chamber 500 lawmakers in the period 2012-2015, only four are women.

After studying the participation of indigenous women in political offices in six countries Bolivia, Peru, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Ecuador and Mexico settled report data show that not only gender discrimination but among women themselves.

Indigenous women participate less in politics than women in general, complete with quota laws (taking into account the indigenous population percentage), so that their political rights are violated, which has consequences for the enjoyment of other rights.

The study highlighted the difficult political inclusion of indigenous women, who face a "triple discrimination" being female, indigenous and poor.

With this we can realize that the Indians have a very weak vote that can easily be corrupted by senior leaders as they have greater needs and satisfy them stand above everything else.
