Currently, the Mérida Municipal Institute for Women houses eight women and 18 minors
MERIDA, YUCATAN (December 24, 2020).- Many women who suffer from violence and flee their homes together with their sons and daughters take refuge in the shelter of the Municipal Institute for Women.
For these December holidays, the mothers and children decorated the Christmas tree, and although they wish they were in their own home, they know that at least tonight they will be safe, out of violence.
“Eight women in situations of violence and 18 boys and girls will spend Christmas and possibly the New Year in the Institute’s shelter”, reported Fabiola García Magaña, director.
