The Xochitepec City Council, chaired by Roberto Gonzalo Flores Zúñiga, presented the Municipal Diagnosis for the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy, carried out through the Municipal Group for the Prevention of Pregnancy in Adolescents (GMPEA).
Mirna Delgado Baron, head of the Municipal Women’s Instance, reported that this diagnosis collected information from 551 adolescents between 12 and 17 years old in school, which represents 17.5% of the student population.
Based on the results, an action plan was designed that includes workshops on emotional bonds free of violence, plastic arts on consent and programs to promote a responsible sexual life through the DIF and the Youth Instance.
In his speech, “Chalo” Flores reaffirmed his commitment to implementing these strategies: “It is time to support women. “We will work to strengthen the social fabric with concrete actions based on this report.”
