Equity Talent Performance
WHAT WE DO
What is Equipar?
EQUIPAR is a non-profit foundation focused on studying and promoting the visibility of gender equity and diversity in corporate environments in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
Gender diversity benefits companies and society as a whole by expanding the talent pool and improving organizational performance and well-being. We are committed to promoting women’s participation at every level of the corporate ladder, all the way up to leadership positions within companies. At EQUIPAR, we firmly believe that it is possible to eliminate the structural barriers that stand in the way.



Our Project
Our work focuses on studying and raising awareness of gender diversity issues in corporate environments.
We survey companies, employees, and the general population to obtain comparable data that allow us to understand in depth the state of diversity in Mexico, with a special focus on the corporate world.
In 2026, EQUIPAR will conduct a national study to provide participating companies with a comparative view of the evolution of female talent in Mexico, the gaps that continue to limit its development, and the practices that are generating measurable results.
The study will specifically analyze motherhood as one of the main turning points in career trajectories and talent retention. We will seek to identify which actions help improve retention, development, and access to leadership, as well as which ones enable companies to better focus their resources.
