Next year, the Municipal DIF System of Puerto Vallarta will be looking for resources to build a shelter for women victims of violence.

There is a project for a building where at least 50 women and their children can live, while their personal situation improves and they can get a job to be able to pay their expenses, since the economic dependence towards the spouse is what prevents them in many cases from filing a complaint for domestic violence.

It is worth mentioning that the domicile will be secret to prevent the rapists from going to the place and only a few authorities will know its exact location.

For some years now, Puerto Vallarta has been a red light for violence against women.

Some places have served as shelters for women, but they have been the result of agreements with civil society.
