Diagnostic of Local Conditions: Ni Un Feminicidio Más

The project aimed to address the issue of femicide in Nuevo Leon, a state in northern Mexico. The initiative was led by Fundación IDEA, a Mexican non-governmental organization, in collaboration with Equis Justicia para las Mujeres and Fortis Consultores. The project focused on understanding the local conditions that contribute to femicide in Nuevo Leon. A diagnostic report was conducted to identify the key factors and challenges related to violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the region. The report highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to address VAWG and femicide, involving government agencies, civil society organizations, and the private sector. The geographic focus of the project was on Nuevo Leon, with a specific emphasis on the Metropolitan Zone of Monterrey. The report noted that Nuevo Leon has one of the highest rates of femicide in Mexico, with 2018 data showing 143 reported cases. The state's capital, Monterrey, has a high concentration of femicides, with 63 reported cases in 2018. Insecurity in Mexico and Nuevo Leon is a significant concern, with high levels of violence and crime affecting the region. The report highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to address insecurity, including addressing the root causes of violence and promoting community-based initiatives. VAWG is a pervasive issue in Mexico, with high rates of domestic violence, sexual assault, and femicide. The report noted that VAWG is often linked to broader issues of inequality, poverty, and social exclusion. In Nuevo Leon, VAWG is particularly prevalent, with high rates of domestic violence and femicide reported in the region. Femicide is a critical issue in Mexico, with high rates of reported cases in Nuevo Leon. The report highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to address femicide, including strengthening laws and policies, promoting community-based initiatives, and providing support services for victims and their families. The report identified several national policy responses to VAWG and femicide, including the creation of the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women (CONAVIM) and the implementation of the Gender Alert system. In Nuevo Leon, the state government has implemented several policies and programs to address VAWG and femicide, including the creation of the State Program to Prevent, Address, Punish and Eradicate Violence against Women (PEPASEVM). The report also highlighted the importance of civil society and private sector responses to VAWG and femicide. Several civil society organizations, including Equis Justicia para las Mujeres and Fortis Consultores, have been working to address VAWG and femicide in Nuevo Leon through community-based initiatives and advocacy efforts. Municipal government responses to VAWG and femicide were also examined in the report. The report noted that several municipalities in Nuevo Leon, including Monterrey, Guadalupe, and Escobedo, have implemented policies and programs to address VAWG and femicide. However, more needs to be done to address the root causes of VAWG and femicide and to provide support services for victims and their families. In conclusion, the Ni Un Feminicidio Más initiative in Mexico highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address VAWG and femicide in Nuevo Leon. The report identifies several key factors and challenges related to VAWG and femicide in the region and highlights the importance of government, civil society, and private sector responses to address these issues.
