Mexican Women are Risking Their Lives Against Violence

They are mothers and daughters, and use lipstick and high heels. Hundreds of Mexican women who, even with the nation’s insecurity, leave daily for the streets to combat crime. One example is Marisol Valles Garcia, chief of police for a troubled municipality in Chihuahua not far from Juarez. The 20 year old married criminology student was the only one willing to accept the position after previous ones were kidnapped and executed. She says she wants people to not live in fear, ad for her son to live in a different community than what they now have. The day after Christmas, Erika Gandara, the only female police officer in Guadalupe, Chihuahua, was kidnapped by gunmen from her home. She had been in that position for only 6 months. It isn’t just in Chihuahua that there are brave women, but also in Coahuila. An example is Raquel Quesada, the only woman to make it through the difficult screening & training to become an officer with the Municipal Police in Torreon. A bilingual secretary by profession, and married with three daughters, her goal is to one day become chief of the police department.

At Least 386 Dead due to Rains

The death toll continues to rise due to torrential rains which have washed away dozens of people. The rural areas have been the hardest hit, and in some cases, whole families have died. Authorities are asking for donations of basic necessities. (Note: several Portuguese-language sources used, with the toll changing regularly.)

Increase in Underage Pregnancies

(Irapuato) There is an increase in unwanted underage pregnancies in Irapuato due to lack of contraceptive knowledge and use. Statistics show that 1 in 4 pregnancies is unwanted, which cause depression for the girl, family and financial problems. Some pregnancies are girls as young as 13, which means high risk pregnancies due to their bodies not being fully developed. Health centers are now providing contraceptive education to adolescents, including going into the secondary schools and colleges. (Better late than never.)

Why in the world would 13-14 year old girls have need of contraceptives?? These pregnancies are due to men who are old enough to know better than to molest young kids! As long as the govt and people of mexico allow this to continue, shame on them! Why are they not providing education to the animals who are doing this to these kids?

I've got to admire these women, God Bless them for manning up to do something about rampant crime in their commnities. Where are the so-called men? Sneaking into the US and starting new families?

You are right miguelina, these women deserve respect. How a person claim to be loyal to their country and proud of their heritage when they hide out where it is "safe" so that they can just grift all they can.
