Marisol Castañeda, a recognized magistrate in Querétaro, shares her experience about the challenges that women face daily, both in public and private. From her work, she dedicates herself to the careful study of cases of women who have been violated and provides support to those seeking justice, preventing them from going through what she experienced. She acknowledges that, although progress has been made in terms of rulings and jurisprudence, there is still much to be done as a society.
In her judicial career, she faced workplace and sexual harassment, but through effort and will, she managed to build a successful trajectory in a space historically dominated by men. She actively participates in marches in support of women seeking justice for violence and disappearances, highlighting the importance of addressing serious issues such as femicides, forced disappearances, and human trafficking.
For Castañeda, feminism is about building support networks among women and recognizing the valuable collaboration of allied men. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated her commitment to the protection of human rights and gender equity, taking the responsibility of issuing rulings and ensuring justice with seriousness and preparation.
In the midst of the fight for equality, Castañeda emphasizes the importance of educating for equality from home, eliminating stereotypes and promoting a balance in domestic responsibilities. She believes that a woman's arrival at the presidency breaks glass ceilings and stresses the need to continue paving the way for future generations.
Despite the obstacles and challenges faced as a woman in a traditionally male environment, Marisol Castañeda defines herself as a feminist, committed to the protection of women's rights and the building of a more equitable future. Her story inspires the ongoing fight for equality and respect for all people.
