The study sets out to contribute to research regarding the failure of a gender equality policy proposal. This case study, drawn from Mexico, examines the proposed legislation on “Violence against women in politics”. This policy proposal was approved in the senate, however later stalled within the Mexican Chamber of deputies, and was therefore never adopted. The study also describes the re-mobilisation efforts that were made due to this failure, in terms of tracing the progress of further policy proposals presented on “Violence against women in politics”. By using theory regarding feminist triangles, veto-players and narratives of how to re-mobilise after defeat, this study finds that the collaboration became more extensive and coherent as subsequent policy proposals on violence against women were presented. Further remobilisation also occurred despite some of the specific narratives of defeat suggesting this would not have been the case. However, as this research shows, those collaborations that occurred were not strong enough to achieve the adoption of the bill as a critical veto-player failed to provide the necessary support.
