Family violence in Mexico City is still an exciting and continuous problem. According to the executive secretariat data of the National Public Security System, the capital leads the national list in the number of volumes of investigation of this crime. This phenomenon is not commensurate with women, girls and adolescents, who represent most of the victims of physical, sexual and emotional violence in the local environment.
According to the national survey on the dynamics of home relations (Endireh) 2021 of the National Institute for Statistics and Geography (INGI), in Mexico:
- 76.2 % of 15 years -women They have suffered from at least one violent accident throughout their lives.
- 39.9 % They have suffered from violence by their current or last partner.
- 10.3 % They faced violence by other relatives.
This data reflects that domestic violence affects a large percentage of women in Mexico City.
In this context, the Public Prosecutor of the city of Mexico witnessed a significant change in its structure. Public Prosecutor Roslaba Angelika Barira Rosalis left her position as head of the Prosecutor’s Prosecutor’s Office for the Crime of Domestic Violence. Although the reasons for their departure were not publicly detailed, many media may represent the alleged violations of attention to the victims and to conduct their investigations.
Even many victims and women’s groups celebrated the checkpoint from the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Some women have expressed their satisfaction and the hope that their issues will find justice. The common denominator of many of them are the references of many women who condemned their aggressors and were able to transfer the volumes of the investigation, and even some of them were arrested, and the operation was caught and the pre -trial detention was sentenced. In almost all cases, the aggressors are people with high economic power in Mexico, represented by law firms, which have already identified, who woven a huge network of corruption in this field.
