“The issue of violence against girls and women has been addressed at different times within the State Security table. This table meets daily in the morning and I know why I have even had to be present (…) Federal authorities and State authorities sit at this table,” she said.

“The vulnerability of girls and women is intensified in those places where there is a lot of migration and a lot of tourist movement; Sinaloa has these two points”, analyzed Guerra Ochoa.

“We have been talking with the mayor of Mazatlán, who we also know has a complicated problem and we talked about it about two weeks ago with the director of the Mazatlán police; We are very concerned about the issue of child prostitution, the issue of trafficking in minors and this type of illicit activity that sometimes increases in places with a high tourist movement, as is the case in Mazatlan,” stressed the state official.

She mentioned that, for its part, SeMujeres will seek comprehensive responses and strengthening with the State Attorney General’s Office, since the message of zero tolerance comes hand in hand with crimes that reach the ultimate consequences of their punishment.
