El deber del Estado ante la violencia feminicida durante la contingencia sanitaria

Abstract

The Mexican State has the constitutional and conventional duty to guarantee health, safety and the protection of human rights, as well as to promote preventive public policies to avoid the commission of criminal acts. The pandemic has been a great challenge for the country. The coronavirus brought with it illness and loss of human life due to political management and trivialization of its consequences. Given the seriousness of the problem, the closure of companies was decreed, causing greater unemployment and, consequently, more social and economic inequality by rising levels of poverty and marginalization. And the confinement decreed due to COVID-19 increased the crime rates for gender reasons, increased complaints, femicides and intentional homicides of women, adolescents and girls.
