Federal deputy Alex Domínguez proposed an initiative to reform the General Law on Forced Disappearance of Persons and Disappearance Committed by Private Individuals. This proposal seeks to integrate a gender perspective and human mobility approach into investigations, specifically to protect migrant women from risks such as human trafficking, sexual violence, and organized crime. Following the arrest of a suspected serial aggressor of sex workers in Mexico City, political calls have intensified for stronger legal mechanisms.
