RIVERA CHAVEZ, María Paulina. The “feminist” promise of Mexico’s foreign policy. Foro int [online]. 2025, vol.65, n.4, pp.1137-1171.  Epub Nov 14, 2025. ISSN 0185-013X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/fi.3128.

This article evaluates Mexico’s feminist foreign policy from two perspectives. First, the way this policy informs the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is analyzed, with a focus on its initiatives within multilateral organizations and the Ministry’s internal policies. The achievements and formulation of the main goals are considered. Second, the two main ideas underlying this policy are critically explored: gender equality and the promotion of human rights. The aim is to understand the epistemology that informs this policy, which is presented as transformative, intersectional, and from the “Global South”. Finally, a reflection is made on societies of care as a proposal for social transformation.

Keywords : Mexico’s feminist foreign policy; gender equality; human rights; intersectionality; society of care.
