Gender Equality

Gender equality means that men and women enjoy the same condition and have the same opportunities to enjoy the full exercise of their human rights and reach their full potential.

Equality does not mean that men and women are the same, but that the rights, responsibilities and opportunities they have do not depend on the gender with which they were born.

Gender equality plan

We have developed a set of measures so that equal treatment and opportunities for women and men can form an integral part of our Institution’s academic and administrative environments.

We have joined the UN Women’s global movement HeForShe, undertaking to deploy nine strategies to contribute to gender equality and gender violence prevention.

The objective of this Committee is to assure progress towards gender equality in our Institution’s executive positions. Our Institution is led by the Presidency of Tecnológico de Monterrey and is comprised of women and men directors of our four institutions,
