Mexican state gender violence reforms

Entities: Congress of San Luis Potosí · Dulcelina Sánchez de Lira · San Luis Potosí

Overview

In July 2026, Mexican state legislatures moved to strengthen legal protections against gender‑based violence. Hidalgo’s congress approved a package of reforms that aligned the state’s law with the federal Violence‑against‑Women framework, explicitly defining femicide, extending protections to girls and adolescents, and adding measures to prevent revictimisation. Within days, the San Luis Potosí congress passed its own amendments to the Law of Access of Women to a Life Free of Violence, introducing concepts such as due diligence and aggressor, expanding the definition of community and school violence, and mandating a national registry for protection orders covering women, girls and children. Both sets of measures aim to bring state statutes into line with federal standards and improve prevention, investigation and sanctions for gender‑based violence across Mexico.
