Semar and SeMujeres Formalize Partnership to Prevent Gender-Based Violence

The agreement marks the first time Mexico’s Navy will integrate gender-based violence prevention into its budgetary and operational framework.

Overview

  • A joint working group will coordinate efforts between Semar and SeMujeres to embed a gender perspective in naval planning.
  • Semar personnel will undergo training on substantive equality, non-discrimination, and prevention of harassment and sexual assault.
  • Protocols for attending to victims of gender-based violence in both workplace and academic settings will be reviewed and updated.
  • The Cartilla de Derechos de las Mujeres will be distributed through primary medical care programs in hard-to-reach areas.
  • The initiative responds to earlier high-profile cases of sexual aggression within the Navy and aligns with Mexico’s commitment to substantive gender equality.
