Puebla's Feminicide Rate Falls 60% as LIBRE Centers Expand
Six hundred days into the administration, Puebla reported a 60 % drop in femicide during the first half of 2026. The decline is attributed to the LIBRE (Libertad, Igualdad, Bienestar, Redes, Emancipación) model of Casas Carmen Serdán centers, which decentralise justice and concentrate services from the State Prosecutor’s Office, DIF, the Secretariat of the Women, the Secretariat of Governance, municipal authorities and civil‑society partners. Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier highlighted the result as an inter‑institutional achievement that aligns with President Claudia Sheinbaum’s goal of eradicating gender‑based violence. The first Casa Carmen Serdán opened in Acatlán de Osorio, providing immediate shelter and legal assistance to women and their families. The state aims to operate a center in each of the 31 microrregions, bringing protection, legal counsel, training and economic opportunities closer to communities. As the governor noted, “Los resultados deben superarse cada año porque representan vidas salvadas y una mejor atención para las poblanas.”
