To create gender equality awareness in the student and academic community, the EGADE Business School students’ Club HeForShe initiated its activities with a virtual talk on women’s participation in public policy.

HeForShe is a global movement created by UN Women in 2014, inviting men and people of all genders to stand in solidarity with women by joining forces to defend gender equality.

Amparo Orozco, EGADE MBA student and president of the club, invited all the attendees to get involved and sign the HeForShe commitment to take action against sexist prejudice, discrimination, and violence in order to enjoy the advantages of equality.

“We know that this change won’t happen overnight, but, as agents of transformation and students of EGADE Business School, it is crucial to bring conversation in gender equality to the table and start the transition towards a more equitable, conscious society,” she commented.

The club's board of directors is also made up of students Astrid Machado, vice president; Daniel Álvarez, secretary; Emilio Rabiela, treasurer, and Ariselda González, communication and events.

Within the framework of the launching of Club HeForShe, the students invited Reyna Torres Mendivil, Consul General of Mexico in Chicago, to offer the conference "The Role of Women in Public Policy".
