Federal alerts were activated in 33 municipalities in the State of Mexico, Morelos, and Michoacan, and the State of Jalisco implemented its own gender alert in eight locations. These local, multi-purpose anti-violence centers are intended to offer psychological, legal, and medical care, temporary shelter, consultation with child development experts, and workshops on social and economic empowerment to support women in breaking the cycle of violence and starting a self-sustainable life free from violence. In practice, however, stakeholders say that these centers are underfunded and need more resources. For instance, SEP developed the programme Construye T, which has been implemented in some public high schools to promote socio-emotional skills in students, teachers, and principals. The programme’s goal is to encourage them to better assess the consequences of their actions, develop pro-social behaviours, and improve interpersonal relationships in order to improve the schooling environment. The educational system plays an important role in changing attitudes towards women, which can go a long way towards reducing violence against women.
