Violence Affects Most Mexico Women
 Prensa Latina
As many as 67 percent of Mexican women over 15 years of age have been victims of some kind of violence, the National Poll on Dynamics of Home Relations revealed Wednesday.
Though violence against Mexican women has decreased in recent years, it is still very high, with manifestations in the community, family, schools, workplaces, and couple relations, the president of the National Statistics, geography, and Informatics Institute, Gilberto Calvillo, stated.
The states of Jalisco, Mexico, and the Federal District record the highest number of female victims of violence, at 78 percent, while Chiapas (48.2 percent) and Zacatecas (56.5) report the lowest figures.
To face that problem, he stated, it is imperative to bring forward a legislative process from the national to state levels, and implement public prevention policies, support the victims, and punish the people responsibl |
