Why We Help
In Mexico:
66.1 % of all women age 15 and older have experienced some kind of violence in their lives.
49% have suffered from emotional violence.
29% have suffered from emotional-patrimonial violence or discrimination.
34% from physical violence.
41.3% of women have suffered from sexual violence.
Of the women who were assaulted in some form, 78.6 percent of them have not sought help or reported their attacks to authorities. Guaymas and the surrounding communities have NO women’s shelter, therefore they cannot escape the abuser.
