The president of the National Institute for Women, Nadine Gasman, said that the Camina Libre, Camina Segura trails, inaugurated in the capital, will contribute to improving the perception of guarantees to the population, particularly women, who in surveys report feeling unsafe when going outside.
During the inauguration of the trails located on Municipio Libre and Cuauhtémoc avenues, in Benito Juárez, Gasman recalled that a survey by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography states that “80 percent of women in Mexico do not feel safe walking on the streets. .
“That is the great challenge we have in Mexico as a country, in many parts of the world, where unfortunately women do not feel safe in the streets, nor do we feel safe in the houses, it must be said.”
In the recently recovered Parque Zapata, he commented that the government of Mexico is coordinating with municipalities in the states and the capital “to work to prevent forms of violence, to change this situation of insecurity.”
For her part, the head of the Women’s Secretariat, Ingrid Gómez, said that this year 260 kilometers of urban rescue will be completed on safe trails, “because we aspire is that we can feel safe when walking on our streets.”
He commented that constant walks will be promoted with the neighbors from different areas in the capital in order to know the deterioration of the trails, in addition to the requirements of women, after the largest cases that are detected are family violence.
350 lights were installed on the trails, 2,600 linear meters of sidewalk were rehabilitated; 961 garrisons, 1,935 were marked on avenues and 75 bollards were put up so that people can cross safely.
There were also 85.2 meters of records and tactile advertisements for the visually impaired and 6,500 meters of graffiti were removed.
