Ariadna Montiel announced that nearly 30,000 women in Quintana Roo are beneficiaries of the Women Wellbeing Pension as part of social programs aimed at combating inequality in Mexico.
In a recent statement, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, the Secretary of Wellbeing, highlighted the impact of the Women Wellbeing Pension program during her visit to Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo, alongside President Claudia Sheinbaum. This initiative, part of the broader social reforms known as the Fourth Transformation, aims to provide financial support to women aged 60 and above, recognizing their contributions to families and communities. Montiel emphasized that this pension is a significant step towards rectifying historical inequalities faced by women in Mexico.
Montiel expressed optimism about the changes occurring in the country, stating that these reforms are a mandate from the people who desire continual transformation. She pointed to the historic election of the first female president in Mexico's 200-year history as a testament to the progress being made. The Women Wellbeing Pension has become an essential support for many women, providing them with financial security in their later years and contributing to their empowerment.
With nearly 30,000 women in Quintana Roo benefiting from this program, the initiative signifies a commitment to social equity and community upliftment. The government's strategy under the Fourth Transformation includes various wellbeing programs that focus on marginalized communities. These measures are crucial in addressing the socio-economic disparities that have persisted in Mexican society for decades, and they aim to ensure that women receive the recognition and support they deserve.
