A woman disappeared for four days and was finally rescued from the bottom of a well in the municipality of Atlatlahucan, Morelos. She had a skull injury and multiple bruises on her body. Her rescue was achieved after a farmer passing through the area heard her screams for help and alerted the authorities through an emergency call.
Ubaldo González Carretes, head of the State Coordination of Civil Protection Morelos (CEPCM), explained that the 32-year-old woman left her home to attend a work appointment and took a taxi, losing awareness of the journey. When she woke up, she was at the bottom of a well in a rural area of the municipality in eastern Morelos. Emergency personnel conducted a vertical rescue and took her to the General Hospital of Cuautla for medical attention.
In response to reports of violence against women in Morelos, and considering that many of them are attacked in taxis, Governor Margarita González Saravia launched the "Safe Travel" program. This program involves public transportation groups trained with a gender perspective and whose units have a displayed QR code that allows checking their identity and certification.
Morelos has activated the Gender Violence Alert against Women in eight municipalities since August 2015, including Cuautla, Cuernavaca, and Yautepec. According to data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP), Morelos closed August as the state with the highest number of femicides nationwide, with 40 crimes. The government of Cuauhtémoc Blanco reported that the entity recorded 3.78 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants, surpassing other states such as Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, and Nuevo León.
