The capital was placed first in the disappearance of women during 2022, surpassing entities such as the State of Mexico, which registered 402 cases, and Morelos, with 347.
In Mexico City, the cases of missing and missing women doubled in 2022, registering 554, compared to the 242 cases reported in 2021, an increase of 128% from one year to the next, according to RNPDNO figures.
Francisco Rivas, general director of the National Citizen Observatory (ONC), points out that the number of disappeared women has increased not only in the city but also nationwide during the last six years.
“There has been an increase in disappeared persons and, in particular, in the last six years we have identified an increase in disappeared women.
What phenomena are associated with it? Gender violence that is at all-time highs, human trafficking that is also at all-time highs, and criminal behavior where many women are sexually abused and later deprived of their lives. (…) Today we also have less search capacity because the Prosecutor’s Offices and the police are overwhelmed, ”she indicates in an interview with Expansión Política.
