bank of aggressors
The Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), Rosa Icela Rodríguez Velázquez, announced that said institution is already preparing the elaboration of an initiative for the creation of the National Data Bank of Feminicides and Sexual Aggressors, which seeks to allow the exchange of information with the states to reduce impunity.
During the presentation of the Zero Impunity Report against Violence against Women and Girls of the Inter-institutional Group for Strategy against Violence, he explained that it is a registry of sexual aggressors and feminicides that seeks that state prosecutors have a DNA bank for forensic use. The goal is that genetic information can be used in linking evidence, and for which they will seek to convince legislators of the need to implement it.
