possible factor
He did not rule out that one of the factors in the growth of domestic and sexual violence in the state has to do with the coronavirus pandemic.
However, he commented that the “confinement” produced by the health contingency from 2020 is not the only cause that originates both events. He even mentioned that the cases were maintained two years before the quarantine period caused by the Covid-19 infections occurred.
“It may be, but the pandemic is not the only factor that has to do with the problems of domestic violence, since there are others, such as the economic one, that originate it.”

Guerra Ochoa assured that the gender alert decree has been essential to address the problems that exist in municipalities such as Mazatlán, Guasave and Culiacán.
He clarified that this law is an instrument that should be used, since it is useless for it to remain on paper as a document.
She specified that in the three cities with a declaration of gender alert, protocols are being reviewed so that there are rapid reaction units, so that when women call, police personnel can be dispatched.
