Tijuana, June 9.- Representative Liliana Miche Sánchez Allende urged the state attorney general, Ricardo Iván Carpio Sánchez, to implement a femicide atlas in the state.
Sánchez explained that Baja California and its municipalities have been on alert for gender-based violence since June 25, 2021, and that the femicide atlas would serve to proactively make transparent the information systematized by the prosecutor's office.
Furthermore, the document would serve as an open accountability tool for the analysis of femicide violence and for eradicating femicide violence.
Representative Liliana added that, according to figures from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (Sesnsp), in 2022 in Baja California, 276 investigation files were opened for intentional homicide of women and only 24 for femicide.
Other legislators who joined the agreement included Dunnia Monserrat Murillo López, Julia Andrea González Quiroz, Gloria Miramontes Plantillas, Alejandra María Ang Hernández, Román Cota Muñoz, and Manuel Guerrero Luna.
For his part, Representative Juan Manuel Molina stated that "it's important that we know what's happening in Baja California. I won't forget that, in the past, the person leading the state investigations said there were no femicides in Baja California."
