According to the third statistical report titled 'How are women in Nuevo León?', between 2020 and 2026, the State Human Rights Commission attended to 32,334 women, of whom 29,986 were registered as victims of violence. This was stated by Olga Susana Méndez Arellano, president of Cedhnl, noting that this evidences the persistence of structural problems that affect their dignity and full exercise of rights. In the framework of International Women's Day, the Commission presented its third report, a document that makes visible the situation of women's human rights in the entity. Méndez Arellano detailed that the report reveals that, between 2020 and 2026, 32,334 women were attended by the Commission, of which 29,986 were registered as victims of violence. In addition, 4,248 complaint files have been documented for alleged violations of their Human Rights, pointing to 138 authorities as allegedly responsible for the violation of women's human rights. 'Beyond the figures, the document exposes how violence and discrimination are aggravated by factors such as age, nationality, migratory status, and sexual orientation, deepening contexts of inequality and intersectionality,' explained Méndez Arellano. Obstacles to accessing fundamental rights The report also identifies obstacles in accessing fundamental rights such as justice, health, education, security, and work, which reflects the urgency of strengthening public policies with a gender perspective and a human rights approach. This report is positioned as a key tool for authorities, civil society, and the media, by offering a solid diagnosis that seeks to drive concrete actions to guarantee substantive equality in Nuevo León. Cedhnl also emphasized the situation of groups in a condition of greater vulnerability, such as migrant women, older adults, deprived of liberty, girls, and adolescents, which reinforces the urgency of comprehensive public policies. The body concluded that these findings constitute a call to authorities and society to drive sustained actions that guarantee the human rights of women in Nuevo León.
