INTEC University’s Gender Studies coordinator Lourdes Contreras says that more work needs to be done to reduce gender violence from the roots, as reported in Diario Libre. Contreras said that public policies continued to focus on administering justice when few cases that get that far compared to the number of women who suffer physical, sexual, physiological, emotional and patrimonial violence. She said that figures from the first half of 2014 show that almost twice the number of gender-related murders were registered compared to the previous year: 27 cases in January-June 2013 compared to 45 for the same period in 2014.
