Why this politician expert thinks diversity is so important for governments.


To activist and politician Xochitl Gonzalez, the government's uncharted topics are full of opportunities to engage women and indigenous people in politics.



MOST OF THE political spectrum in the current Mexican government system has yet to be roughly scrutinized. Even after decades of trying and fighting inequalities with thousands of voices and justified acts, women legislators have seen just a fraction of change in that time.

Xochitl Gonzalez discusses a transcendent opportunity to engage women and indigenous people in politics in those uncharted places. 

A Federal Deputy of the Mexican Congress of the Union and an expert on social justice, Gonzalez has been in each Mexican state and 902 communities since 2012. When she launched her initiative, there were a couple of women involved.

“If we want to go to face the whole country's patriarchal system, we not only need new public spaces and unique communities of people willing to fight for a real-estate equity but also safety to attend to said places,” Gonzalez states. 

Throughout her career, Xochitl has built several alliances between political parties to improve and encourage girls to use their voice in pro of real and secure democracy. Besides, her last—and more visionary—project, "The Girls Have Voice Too," is full of students and young activists that have developed innovative ways to make the unused spaces more approachable. (How involving young girls in politics can make a substantial difference in the long term for everyone around them.) 

New technologies and the immense increment on social movements have allowed Gonzalez and others to make significant parliamentary changes in recent months. "Without our newest social media technique, implemented by the indigenous communities, we wouldn't be able to approach thousands of future activists in such little time." In 2018 UNIL's students checking the transparency section of congress's website were the first to notice massive irregularities in every plenary session.

Those students found a perfect mistake necessary to launch their efforts on a nationwide scale. By devoting enough time to check every public paper—related to diversity and human rights—, hundreds of people can see how the past politicians made every blocking law on purpose.

📌 Am I an artist?

Am I an artist?  " I guess no because I don't understand a thing when looking at a piece of art." That was the answer I gave myself every time I entered a museum. Does that mean I was insecure? Well, not exactly. I was overwhelmed.   So many techniques, periods, movements, and terms made me feel sick and weak . Art is hard! I didn't study art history or anything related, but I wanted to enjoy random sculptures and artworks. Then I thought, " that had to change."  I needed a  guide   easy to read, but I wanted to create it from scratch. One   day, I took my laptop, a bunch of white sheets and started asking questions to myself. Yes, from the basics like:  What is this?  What do you represent?  How many people painted you? What is the title?   Then, I questioned myself about the moment being there (in the Museum or Gallery). This is what I found: Do the shoes I use when visiting influence my experience?  Should I know the artist be...

🎨 My current writing condition

       "Today, I wrote about a possible future scene. I can't publish the text. See you tomorrow!"        This previous message was the text appearing in the last posts of this website , and here, l et me be honest with you and me. I haven't found the physical energy to keep on writing .      As I said in previous texts, I had an accident rock climbing a boulder (and falling off of a bike days later), and  I didn't expect this torn tendon would last so much.      I consider the most intelligent thing I can do right now is focusing on healing. After that, write the book I have in mind .        For the moment, I want to tell you, thank you! Thanks to the dozen loyal followers reading every drama on Facebook and elsewhere I could create. You inspired me to continue. Draft 1 - Updated October 13, 2020. More drafts between these months. Last Book's Draft - Updated, February 07, 202...
