In the framework of Women's Month, the Secretary of Environment, Guadalupe Espinosa, indicated that the scheduled activities include workshops, yoga classes, artistic exhibitions, keynote lectures, talks, and an outdoor market.
The official emphasized that the program's main focus is to establish a link between the environment and women, who throughout history have been fundamental guardians of natural resources.
