Frente Unico Pro Derechos de la Mujer (FUPDM, United Front for Women's Rights), was a women's organization in Mexico, founded in 1935.[1] It is known for the role it played in the campaign for women's suffrage.
FUPDM was founded in a time period when the Mexican women's movement was split. In 1952, the FUPDM formed the Alianza de Mujeres Mexicanas and launched a campaign for the introduction of women's suffrage. It allied with the presidential candidate Adolfo Ruiz Cortines and offered him their support in exchange for a promise that he introduced the reform in case of his victory. He agreed to their suggestion on condition they could present him a list of 500.000 women's signatures in support. When he did win the election, they presented the list of names to him, and he kept his promise and introduced the reform of women's suffrage in Mexico 1in 1953.[2]
