President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo led the delivery of 138 agrarian documents to women in the borough of Tlalpan, Mexico City, bringing the total to more than 30,000 titles granted nationwide and advancing the goal of 150,000 during her administration, as part of a strategy to restore the agrarian rights of Mexican women.
During the event, the president underscored the importance of guaranteeing women’s right to land ownership, noting that historically they were denied access to becoming ejidatarias or comuneras, a situation that current public policies aimed at equality seek to reverse.
Of the documents delivered, 98 correspond to certificates confirming the validity of rights, 20 to transfers of agrarian rights, six parcel certificates, six common-use certificates, two urban plot titles, and six credentials for representative bodies.
The Secretary of Women, Citlalli Hernández Mora, explained that this action is part of the activities carried out in March in the framework of International Women’s Day, and announced the development of an Agrarian Women’s Rights Booklet, as well as the creation of the First Network of Rural Women.
Meanwhile, Mexico City Head of Government Clara Brugada Molina highlighted the progress in women’s participation in land ownership, noting that 35 percent of land in the capital is currently registered in women’s names, reflecting advances in the recognition of their rights.
