New data from Mexico’s security secretary shows the state of Sonora has had the fourth most 911 calls for partner violence of any state in Mexico this year.
The data shows Sonora behind just three of Mexico’s 31 states in terms of calls to the police related to partner violence.
In Sonora, for every 100,000 people, there were 628 calls to the police for violence between partners. The national average in Mexico is around a third of that.
The data goes from the beginning of 2024 through the end of November.
Sonora came in third in the broader category of 911 calls for family violence, with a rate that was a little over twice the national average.
Sonora also had about twice the national average for calls to the police for sexual harassment. Calls to the police related to sexual harassment have increased steadily since 2020.
