Yucatán legislative human rights initiatives

Overview

Legislative efforts in Yucatán have focused on expanding protections for marginalized groups and civil liberties. Deputy Larissa Acosta Escalante of Movimiento Ciudadano introduced the ‘Municipios con Orgullo’ initiative, which seeks to establish sexual diversity service areas and permanent non-discrimination commissions across all 106 municipalities to support diverse sexual orientations and genders. Concurrently, the Yucatán Congress voted to criminalize transfeminicide in the state penal code to sanction violence against trans women.

Furthering civil rights reforms, Deputy Clara Rosales Montiel proposed removing crimes against honor, such as defamation and libel, from the State Penal Code. This initiative aims to protect freedom of expression and the right to protest, preventing the criminalization of journalists, human rights defenders, and environmental activists. The proposal seeks to ensure that citizens can denounce authority abuses without facing judicial harassment.
