A person in Mexico can sexually attack another person practically with the certainty that there will be no consequences. Of every 100 attacks that are perpetrated, only six are reported by the victims and of those, not even half end up recorded by the prosecutor's offices . What is the reason behind this? A diagnosis of sexual violence in the country by the Executive Commission for Attention to Victims (CEAV) shows structural flaws that range from poor timely detection of cases, to deficiencies in records, differences between states regarding the types and severity. of crimes, and poor care and follow-up of victims. According to projections made by the CEAV based on INEGI victimization surveys, from 2010 to 2015 more than two million 900 thousand sexual attacks were committed in the country, but 94 percent were not even reported. The Commission asked the state prosecutors' offices for the number of preliminary investigations for sexual crimes in this same period. Only half responded and the figure was 83 thousand files, a minimum of the universe of projected cases that were committed.
Sexual-crime-graphic (1) The Executive Commission for Attention to Victims provided Animal Político with the complete diagnosis document and from it, the five main failures discovered by the investigators, that the cases are not attended to or reported, are presented: Chaos in penal codes In Mexico, sexual crimes are not measured Bahamas Mobile Number List with the same yardstick. This is because there is no standardized or general law for this type of crime, so each state defines at its discretion in its penal code what sanctions are applied and even whether any type of aggression is punished or not. For example, there are three penal codes, that of Zacatecas , Tamaulipas and the Federal, that in order to sanction sexual harassment require that there be verifiable damage or harm, which should be irrelevant (according to the analysis) since said illegal act violates the sexual freedom and security, without necessarily being lost.
There are states such as Baja California, Campeche, Durango and Sonora, which stop punishing statutory rape (sexual relationship with a minor) if the aggressor marries the victim, which specialists consider “legalizes the prolongation of the injury to the legal right.” (sexual security and normal psychosexual development) that the criminal offense should protect.” Another case that exemplifies the disorder in the legislation is the crime of rape, which should be punished equally in the states given the seriousness it entails. The reality is different. It turns out that improper rape (using an object to penetrate the victim) in states like Aguascalientes, Nayarit Oaxaca and Sinaloa is considered a more serious crime than self-rape (copulating with the victim against her will), while in other states like Durango, Hidalgo, Tabasco and Zacatecas, it is considered less serious . In addition to confusion, there is duplicity within the codes themselves.
