Exploring the experience of the degree of discrimination between genders is a key element in assessing the acceptance and recognition necessary for a relationship of full equality between young men and women with disabilities. It is essential to eliminate discrimination and labour exclusion of women with disabilities, due to the persistence of double discrimination: due to their status as women and for being a person with a disability, a combination that is detrimental to the job stability of this population group.

For the vast majority of people of working age, work is an individual aspiration that is perceived as a pillar of social integration and, fundamentally, of a decent income, a key point for men and women to achieve economic independence.

However, in Mexico, the biggest obstacle for people of working age and/or recent graduates of an academic degree is the lack of experience that every company requires as a requirement, without considering that this is acquired through work experience.

In this regard, it is necessary to promote employment with policies aimed at implementing comprehensive job training schemes in order to transform the teachings and skills acquired into tools that allow people, including those with disabilities, to effectively enter the formal labour market and ensure that informality is not an option.

At the same time, gender equality in the workplace is an issue that has been widely addressed by academia and specialized organizations that have detected the attitudes of employers towards what equality among peers represents, since a marked degree of inequality towards women is evident, especially those with disabilities.

Exploring the experience of the degree of discrimination between genders is a key element in assessing the acceptance and recognition necessary for a relationship of full equality between young men and women with disabilities.

This is an essential step to eliminate discrimination and exclusion from employment of women with disabilities and their participation in the labour market, due to the persistence of double discrimination: due to their status as women and for being a person with a disability, a combination that is detrimental to the job stability of this population group.

In practice, this double discrimination against women with disabilities is compounded by other factors, such as the fact that they participate less in the labour market, have greater difficulties in staying in their jobs and the conditions associated with the jobs they occupy, which contrast with those received by their male colleagues.

Fortunately, in Mexico there are more and more people, especially young people, with the sensitivity to commit to a sociocultural change that eliminates inequalities and discrimination against women with disabilities.

Stereotypes and taboos surrounding disability and women's inclusion in the workplace must be overcome, as they must be considered worrying factors that do not attract the attention of government institutions or society in general, especially when the latter "romanticizes" the condition of women with disabilities, regardless of the fact that this restricts this group from further education, job opportunities and strengths that allow them to access the new stage in their life cycle with advantages.

• According to the report “Structural discrimination and social inequality, illustrative cases for indigenous youth, women and people with disabilities”, prepared by the National Council to Prevent Discrimination (Conapred), of every 100 people with a hearing or speech disability only 19 are salaried workers in the formal sector, for those with motor disabilities the figure is 14 out of every 100. Cognitive or mental disability is the most punished with 13 out of every 100 inhabitants in this situation. People with motor disabilities have a 11% greater risk of not receiving paid vacations than those without disabilities. For people with visual limitations, the risk of not receiving health insurance is 13% greater than that of the population without disabilities, and those with multiple disabilities are up to 25% more likely to not have a written contract, paid vacations, and health insurance.
