Family and digital violence are the most reported by women in the capital, according to a report released this Monday by the Citizen Council for Security and Justice of Mexico City, within the framework of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which is commemorated on November 25.
The Council indicated that, between 2019 and so far in 2025, it has attended to 146,682 cases of gender violence, through the Safety Line, the Trust Chat and *765-911.
“85% of them correspond to family violence, followed by digital violence (7%), sexual abuse (5%), rape (2%) and sexual harassment (1%),” the Council noted in a statement.
In addition, the agency warned that 17% of these cases “present a feminicide risk.”
Regarding digital violence, the report indicates that the most affected are young women, with almost 30% of the victims between 21 and 35 years old. “Girls and adolescents are also among the most exposed groups,” it is mentioned.
“Digital violence has a real impact, our data demonstrates gender vulnerability in cyberspace,” declared María Elena Esparza, Gender Advisor.
