Mexico City.- The Commission on Human Rights found that capital authorities have violated at least 11 of these, only in terms of sexual violence. According to a 2014-2019 report by the Fourth Visitor’ Office, which concentrates such complaints and to which REFORMA had access, the files have been initiated by the omission of three local units: the Attorney General’s Office, the citizens’ security secretariats and the Health Care.
The HRC, chaired by Nashieli Ramirez, registers omissions as in the protection against sexual violence; as well as protection against violence on public roads, public places and shows. Dependencies have also been poor in protecting the family from violence and for providing relief when physical, verbal, psychoemotional and sexual abuse occurs.
(There are) rights violations where units have been required to assist in schools or work schools; to provide assistance when violence occurs to women at work.
“As well as obstruction, restriction, arbitrary ignorance or interference in the best interests of the child,” the letter states. According to the law, officials have failed even in the development of investigations. This, by notifying the determinations of the prior inquiry, refusing to investigate diligently and rejecting or omitting to consider the best interests of children in measures or actions of judicial or administrative courts. Since 2014 to date, the Commission has 190 files pending relating to sexual violence. Of these, 119 are against women and 71 against infants. Because of the alert that causes authorities failure and constant sexual and female abuse, the HRC is tabling a special report on gender-based violence, ranging from abuse to femicide. After presenting the 2018 annual balance sheet, Nashieli Ramirez explained that the data will be collected from 2012.
We’re about to conclude it. We’re already in the final reviews and we’ll be presenting it in a couple of weeks,” he said.
In this regard, the Head of Government, Claudia Sheinbaum, said that they seek to prioritize dialogue so that violence is diminished in the City.
