PRI emphasizes office specializing in murdered women
By Gustavo Garcia Rivas

MEXICALI, BAJA CALIFORNIA - The situation of violence in Baja California now accounts for crimes that are never resolved by the authorities, especially homicides. Society is demanding a real investigation, with the capture of the criminals and justice. This was pointed out by the deputies of the PRI in the State Congress , and would require the Attorney General of the State (PGJE) to create a specialized unit for investigating violent homicides against women.

They stressed that to date almost all of the violent murders committed against women have gone unpunished, and that state authorities have been unwilling to solve them because they attribute the murder to alleged ties to drug trafficking. Statistics show since 2007 to date, the percentage of murders of women in Mexico has increased, going from 1.8 to 10.11 per 100 thousand women. They warn that "it is possible that every day more cruel and degrading killings are committed against women..." and added that because this hurts society, there must be created within the PGJE a Public Ministry to investigate such killings.

"Otherwise we are letting pass an opportunity to avoid such a degree of insecurity for women in the State and will be reaching the level of insecurity of Ciudad Juárez, where it is likely that the problem is greater than that recognized by the authorities."
