Querétaro expands psycho‑legal support modules for women victims of violence
The Municipality of Querétaro, through its Secretariat of Women, has strengthened its psycho‑legal assistance for women facing violence by operating specialised modules that provide psychological counselling and legal advice. From January to June 2026 the modules delivered 422 attendances, comprising 152 legal consultations and 270 psychological sessions, chiefly for cases of domestic violence. The services are offered at locations in the Centro Histórico, Felipe Carrillo Puerto and Santa Rosa Jáuregui delegations, as well as the Centre for Empowerment and the University of Women.
Secretary of the Women Bety León Sotelo said the municipality aims to install a module in every delegation before year‑end to broaden coverage. Women can request appointments through the “Ciudad Qro” app, which conducts an initial assessment and schedules the service. The Centre for Empowerment now serves more than 600 women, providing employability and entrepreneurship training in six delegations via workshops run by the Institute of Technological and Economic Development of Querétaro (ICATEQ).
