Governor Alejandro Armenta emphasized the importance of Casa Violeta in Puebla as shelters of protection, mainly for women in situations of violence. A total of 27 Casa Violeta will be established in various municipalities of the state, including San Martín Texmelucan, Teziutlán, Acatlán de Osorio, Ajalpan, Tepeaca, Acatzingo, Xicotepec de Juárez, Huauchinango, Tehuacán, Chiautla de Tapia, Cuautlancingo, San Pedro Cholula, and the capital, Puebla.
Furthermore, specialized Casa Violeta will be created to provide attention to indigenous women in Cuetzalan and Zacapoaxtla, to ensure appropriate support in their language and cultural context. Armenta highlighted that these spaces are designed to offer protection and safety to those in need, with the aim of preventing crimes such as femicide and domestic violence.
Regarding training, a call will be opened for lawyers interested in joining the team that will provide legal advice to individuals who visit Casa Violeta. The governor pointed out the importance of institutional support, highlighting the willingness of the state prosecutor, Idamis Pastor Betancourt, to collaborate with the project and ensure effective support for victims.
Next Monday, the installation of the first Casa Violeta in Puebla capital and Acatlán will begin, as part of an initiative aimed at providing protection and comprehensive support to women, children, and adolescents in situations of violence or risk, offering legal and psychological advice. The objective is to have 15 Casa Violeta operational within the first 100 days of the state administration, as part of a joint effort to combat gender violence and ensure the safety of victims.
