Family strengthening and violence prevention in Mexico

Overview

In Camargo, Mayor Jorge Aldana has initiated efforts to prevent domestic violence by strengthening public institutions and fostering respectful home environments. This municipal strategy involves coordination between departments such as Public Security and Social Prevention, with UNICEF Mexico serving as a technical ally to support the rights of children and adolescents.

Building on these efforts, UNICEF is promoting the ‘positive parenting with awareness’ (CC+) program. In Ciudad Juárez, officials are advocating for the replacement of physical punishment and emotional threats with affective approaches and clear, positive boundaries. The program aims to establish secure emotional bonds to prevent violence and mitigate long-term mental and physical health risks for children, such as anxiety, depression, and chronic diseases.
