- Presidents of state congressional gender commissions will meet on Nov. 13 to advance legal harmonization of the offense across all 32 states.
- Agreements will be pursued with state prosecutors and the National Conference of Procuración de Justicia to streamline complaint procedures and strengthen gender‑perspective care.
- Authorities reported 25,070 investigation files for sexual abuse so far in 2025 and highlighted uneven state statutes, with 19 stronger frameworks, nine insufficiently strengthened, and four lacking a clear definition.
