Claudia Sheinbaum is the current front-runner in Mexico’s presidential election – which would make her the country’s first ever woman to take on the role.
With her closest rival, Xóchitl Gálvez, also a woman, and the only man in the presidential race a distant third, Mexico is almost certainly set to break centuries of male domination of the country’s highest office.
In a nation with deeply embedded problems with machismo and sexual violence against women and girls, Sheinbaum says the fact that both leading candidates are women is a sign that Mexican society is evolving.
On average, 11 women a day are murdered in Mexico.
