In July 2026 Mexico City’s Cuauhtémoc borough rolled out the "Contra la Violencia Avánzale" program, providing each of 100 women with 15,000 pesos, counseling, legal advice and access to a network of protective points. The initiative formed part of the broader "Reacción Violeta" strategy, which operates hundreds of Violet Points across the borough to safeguard women and empower them economically. At the same time, federal and state authorities activated a suite of social programmes – including Sembrando Vida, youth employment schemes, scholarships and pensions – to assist families forced to flee violence in the southern part of the state, coordinating efforts among municipal, state and federal levels.

A week later, several Mexican states expanded the assistance model. Jalisco opened a 1,400‑square‑metre psycholegal centre serving up to 500 people monthly, offering free psychosocial, legal and social‑work services to families of missing persons and recently released women, backed by a 40 million‑peso budget and periodic cash transfers. Querétaro reported hundreds of psycholegal attendances and planned a dedicated module in every municipal delegation. The State of Mexico announced mobile "Caravanas de Justicia Social" to provide on‑site legal orientation, counseling and case follow‑up in five municipalities, aiming to reduce travel barriers and broaden access to justice. Together, these actions illustrate a scaling‑up from localized economic aid to a nationwide network of psycholegal services targeting women and displaced families.
