translated from Spanish: Evaluation of the Ismujeres ? THE DEBATE

ISMUJERES RELIEVER. Since the syllanous Women’s Institute was created, it has been seen by the governor in turn as a space of political power, and has appointed its headline by prioritizing group interest and closeness to its political project. This was the case since its creation in March 2000, in the Government of Juan Millán, so, from that time, the members of the Collective of Active Women Sinaloenses (the CMAS) dressed in black, we protested against the pyramidal structure and the predominance of the figure of the governor on the organization chart, who has control of the agency’s board of directors. Over the years the institute’s organic law was created, and the public call was incorporated to appoint the director, on a proposal from civil society organizations, of which the governor chooses a proposal and sends it to the State Congress for her ratification or rejection. The Women’s Collective has always questioned that the director’s appointment is not prioritized on the role of women’s human rights, because unfortunately what is privileged is loyalty to the acting governor. This was the case in the past, and with Araceli Tirado, but the point is that the governor now has no majority in the State Congress, and so, rightly, they are questioning Quirino Ordaz his proposal to ratify the current director of the Ismujeres , especially if it did not consider that the performance and results of its proposal would be assessed with a critical view with the new majority. Reasons left over in Sinaloa to be unhappy with the results in the fight against violence against women, serial killer in Culiacán, women slit, slit, raped, beaten; and while it is true that Ismujeres does not have to do all the task, since it is also the responsibility of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Secretary of Security and the Supreme Court, what is real is that Araceli has taken more care of his closeness with the governor than his relationship with the victims s, has been cold and unemposted to the pain of families who have lost their daughters, distant from the victims of violence that afflicts us. Accustomed to tricolor forms, Araceli is often very praised with Quirino Ordaz, but this will not be enough to guarantee his permanence now that his period has expired; the other way around, with the new majority, surely that will be your ballast. Or not? The real thing is that, regardless of who is left in charge of the Ismujeres, what is needed is less simulation on the issue of combating violence, more commitment and political will of the governor of the state, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Congress and the judiciary. Enough of the cruelty is enough, it is aberrant and shameful to have authorities with fallen arms in the fight against violence against women in Sinaloa. Or not? REFORMS TO THE LAW. What is needed in Sinaloa is to reform the organic law of the Ismujeres so that the governor at least submits a terna, and not a single proposal to the State Congress, because it does not give legislators scope to elect the head of the agency , but puts them in the condition of supporting or rejecting their proposal, and that does not compromise the holder with Congress, but usually behaves as an employee of the governor. That’s how they’ve all been. Or not?
