Report Type: List of Issues Prior to Reporting
Women, both cisgender and transgender, experience violence when transiting through
Mexico. After experiencing violence, women face a lack of access to justice and protective
services because of the culture of impunity in the Mexican Government and its officials.
As the United States continues to implement third-country deportations, this report will
shed light on the gender-based violence in Mexico, especially for vulnerable transiting
populations.
