New Title: “Empowering Women: Tulum Welcomes Fourth Women’s Justice Center!”

The Mexican government has approved the construction of a fourth Women's Justice Center, this time in the municipality of Tulum. This new center will be built on a 2,310 square meter plot of land, provided by the Quintana Roo Strategic Projects Agency.

The center will feature waiting areas, reception facilities, first contact care modules, playrooms, nurseries, emergency housing, and other amenities. These are designed to ensure women can live lives free from violence. This is particularly significant in a state where family violence is the second most common crime. The municipalities of Felipe Carrillo Puerto and Tulum have the highest number of such cases, with 1,063 and 627 incidents respectively between 2021 and 2023.

The establishment of this center is crucial for women living in the heart of the state. Existing centers in Benito Juarez and Solidaridad serve the north, while the center in Othón P. Blanco caters to the south. The Tulum Women's Justice Center will primarily serve indigenous populations.

The center will benefit several municipalities, including Tulum, which has a population of 46,721. Other municipalities set to benefit include Felipe Carrillo Puerto with 93,990 residents, José María Morelos with 39,165, Bacalar with 41,754, and Lázaro Cárdenas with 29,171. In total, the center will serve 13.41 percent of Quintana Roo's population.

The center will also cater to visitors from other states and countries who are in the area for tourism or temporary work. The presence of an international airport in the area allows for easy transportation and communication for victims of extreme violence.

The Tulum Women's Justice Center will also address a special recommendation made in 2017 by Conavim. This recommendation called for measures to combat violence against women in the municipality of Lázaro Cárdenas, which has a predominantly indigenous population.
