Puebla coordinates 22 working tables on gender-violence response

In an October 11 release, Puebla said it was coordinating a programme of 22 working tables running from October 5 to 12 to define how state bodies could carry out 45 measures in the state’s gender-violence alert for women. The process involves 31 state departments and entities and is coordinated by the Secretariat for Women. The figure describes the ongoing programme, not 22 sessions already completed by October 11.

Officials are reviewing each body’s legal responsibilities, rules, internal procedures, staffing and material resources, as well as referral routes, coordination procedures, territorial coverage and the population served. The state says the work will feed an operational matrix setting specific commitments, responsible units and monitoring contacts, with execution periods of one to six months. The release does not say that the commitments have already been approved or delivered.
