Information on the protection and recourse available to women who are abused by their spouses, particularly in Guadalajara [MEX13763]

Please find attached a copy of Response to Information Request MEX13200 of 23 February 1993, which provides information on the requested subject. The information provided in that response by the Asociación Mexicana Contra la Violencia Hacia la Mujer was reported to be true for Mexico in general (24 Feb. 1993). Information specific to the Guadalajara region could not be found among the sources currently available to the DIRB.

Please note that the discrepancy between the date of the telephone interview with the Mexican association and the date of the Response to Information Request MEX13200 is due to the fact that the latter corresponds to the date on which the written compilation of information began, while the former is the date on which the Mexican source provided the information included in the Response.
