The Secretary of Women, Citlalli Hernández Mora, joined Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama to inaugurate the state’s fourth Women’s Justice Center (CJM) in Tulum. This new facility is designed to provide comprehensive, free, and specialized care for 242,889 women, girls, and adolescents across the municipalities of Tulum, Puerto Morelos, Cozumel, and Playa del Carmen.
With a joint federal and state investment of 48,337,052 pesos, the center fulfills a core promise of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s administration to prioritize those who have historically been invisible. Hernández Mora emphasized that the center represents a pillar of peace, offering women a safe harbor and the certainty of immediate professional assistance.
A Comprehensive Sanctuary for Justice and Healing
The Women’s Justice Center integrates legal, psychological, medical, and empowerment services under one roof. This centralized model ensures that survivors of violence and their children receive holistic protection without the risk of re-victimization. By streamlining multiple services in a single location, the facility addresses the immediate needs of families in crisis.
Governor Mara Lezama highlighted the synergy between state and federal authorities, noting that the center is a response to the frustrations often felt when legal systems fail to address women’s concerns. The facility aims to restore dignity and provide a fast, fair path to justice for all victims of gender-based violence in the region.
Economic Autonomy and the “Mujer es Poder” Initiative
As part of the inaugural events, Hernández Mora also accompanied Governor Lezama to distribute support through the “Mujer es Poder” (Women are Power) program. This state-led initiative is dedicated to fostering economic independence for women in Quintana Roo, providing them with the tools necessary to reclaim their financial autonomy.
The distribution of the “Women’s Rights Cartilla” (Rights Charter) served as a symbolic and practical reminder of the administration’s commitment. Officials noted that the budget is being directed where it is most needed, moving toward a Mexico where women are empowered and the social fabric is strengthened through direct institutional support.
Strengthening the Network of Protection in Quintana Roo
The opening of this fourth center solidifies a robust support network throughout the state. It sends a clear message to the women of Tulum: they are not alone. The CJM provides the institutional infrastructure needed for survivors to rebuild their lives in a safe and peaceful environment.
Residents can access the National Directory of Women’s Justice Centers online to find specialized support across the country. This regional expansion is a cornerstone of the “Second Floor of the Fourth Transformation,” reaffirming the government’s unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of every woman and girl in Mexico.
