2025 Award "Best Practice in Citizen Participation"

In Jalisco, due to the context of gender-based violence against women, this project with a public policy vision includes women who have experienced violence, who in most cases are from the most vulnerable economic sectors of our society and who unfortunately also live with the children who are daughters and sons of the victims. For this reason, in addition to the services provided by the Women's Justice Centers, this support contributes significantly to break the cycle of violence against women, since it empowers and autonomizes them in one of the aspects that anchors them to their aggressors, which is the economic one. For this reason, it contributes to the user and her children's access to a life free of violence.

This project intervenes in the economic autonomy of women and helps to break the cycle of violence, solving the basic, immediate or urgent needs that the users of the Network of Justice Centers of the State of Jalisco, together with their children, present as a result of gender violence and economic, labor and psychological disempowerment, so that they can access justice through financial and in-kind support.

Non-returnable economic and/or in-kind support to the public institution with the purpose of empowering and giving autonomy to women and their children who are victims of gender-based violence, consisting of amounts ranging from 1,000 pesos to 15,000 Mexican pesos per user, and in justifiable cases a higher amount may be given. This resource is provided to meet needs such as food, medicines, medical interventions or consultations, clothing, footwear, personal hygiene supplies, processing of official or notarial documents, transportation, lodging, education, rental of transitional housing and acquisition of basic household goods, in order to end the cycle of violence with her aggressor, that is, to give autonomy to the victims and their children so that they can continue their legal and empowerment processes.

With this project, from 2022 to 2024, 1,425 women have been supported with an amount of 16 million 805,804 Mexican pesos and 8 cents.
