Subsidies fund Justice Centers for Women in Chiapas and Coahuila

The Official Gazette of the Federation, in its edition number 228/2026 dated Friday, August 21, 2026, published three coordination and adhesion agreements signed by the Ministry of Women with the governments of Chiapas and Coahuila de Zaragoza, through which federal subsidies are granted for the operation of the Justice Centers for Women in Tapachula, Tuxtla, and Acuña. The resources are framed within Component A “Subsidy for Justice Centers for Women” and are executed in accordance with the 2026 CJM Guidelines and Operating Guide.

The agreements, signed by the Undersecretariat for the Right to a Life Free of Violence, represented by Ingrid Aurora Gómez Saracíbar, seek to strengthen the operational capacity of the centers to guarantee access to justice for women victims of violence and their children, with special emphasis on itinerant mobile care for rural and hard-to-reach communities.

Amounts assigned per center

The Ministry of Women will transfer the resources through the finance secretariats of each entity, into specific productive bank accounts. The amounts approved by the Project Evaluation Committee are:

• Justice Center of Tapachula, Chiapas: $1,718,241.36 (reference MUJERES/CCA/CJM/OPE/CHIS/TAP/09/2026).
• Justice Center of Tuxtla, Chiapas: $2,205,179.31 (reference MUJERES/CCA/CJM/OPE/CHIS/TGZ/08/2026).
• Justice Center of Acuña, Coahuila: $429,640.80 (reference MUJERES/CCA/CJM/OPE/COAH/ACUÑA/13/2026).

Itinerant care in the territory

In the Chiapas centers, the subsidy finances the acquisition of van and pick-up type mobile units to implement an itinerant comprehensive care model, featuring an itinerant Public Prosecutor who receives complaints, initiates investigation files, and issues protection measures on-site. The service covers municipalities in the Soconusco region (Tapachula, Huixtla, Cacahoatán, Huehuetán, Tuxtla Chico, Mazatán, and Suchiate) and the influence zone of Tuxtla (Berriozábal, Ocozocoautla, Chiapa de Corzo, Suchiapa, San Fernando, Cintalapa, Jiquipilas, La Concordia, Chicoasén, and Usumacinta).

The projected annual care goals are 800 women in Tapachula and 1,200 in Tuxtla, which in 2025 served more than 7,500 users. In Acuña, the subsidy is destined for the acquisition of office furniture and computer equipment to strengthen the center’s operational infrastructure.

Responsible agencies

The execution of the projects falls upon the responsible local agencies:

• In Chiapas, the State Attorney General’s Office, headed by Mtro. Jorge Luis Llaven Abarca, with liaison Lic. Miguel Ángel Montero Morales.
• In Coahuila, the State Secretariat for Women, led by Mtra. Mayra Lucila Valdés González, with liaison Lic. Deyanira Nájera Muñoz, general director of the Center for Justice and Empowerment for Women.

State governments must record information on the women served in the National Data and Information Bank on Cases of Violence against Women (BANAVIM) and account for the application of resources in accordance with the General Law of Government Accounting.

Relevance for readers

These subsidies expand the territorial coverage of justice with a gender perspective, bringing psychological, legal, and victim services closer to women living in remote communities with limited transportation and high population dispersion. By allowing the receipt of complaints and the issuance of protection measures on the ground, the agreements contribute to reducing revictimization and combating impunity regarding violence against women in border and rural regions of Chiapas and Coahuila.
