76 argumentation or evidence that would allow the Court to analyze their purpose, reasonableness, and scope.284 This prevents the Court from ruling on the measure requested. vi) Multidisciplinary health services for women victims of sexual abuse 233. The Commission requested that the Court order the State to design and implement multidisciplinary health services for women victims of rape, which encompass the specific necessities of indigenous women for their recuperation, rehabilitation, and reinsertion into the community. 234. The State presented information during the public hearing and in its final written arguments regarding the public policy, programs, norms, and actions that it has implemented at a federal and local level in order to “reduce the prevalence and severity of the harm caused by violence against women, with a particular emphasis on those women in situations of major risk and vulnerability.” Among other aspects, it presented information regarding Mexican Norm-046-SSA2-2005, “Domestic and sexual violence against women. The criteria for prevention and attention,” which strives to establish the criteria’s for detention, prevention, medical care, and the orientation for the service users of the general health care services, and particularly, those involved in circumstances of domestic or sexual violence. In this manner, it strives for medical care to the victim of violence that involves the promotion, protection, and restoration-to the highest degree possible-of physical and mental health via treatment, rehabilitation, or referrals to specialized places. Likewise, it reported on the creation in the state of Guerrero of institutions that intervene in cases of sexual violence against women such as the Investigation of Sexual Offenses and Domestic Violence, the municipal offices specialized in assistance and prevention of violence against women, made up of lawyers, social workers, doctors, and psychologists, and the State System to Prevent, Attend, Punish, and Eradicate Violence against Women” as well as the creation, at a federal level of: i) four Integral Attention Centers for victims of gender-based violence, “with the hopes of expanding the number […] to all the federal entities,” and ii) a national network of refuge for women victims of violence, where they offer “specialized and interdisciplinary protection and attention to women and children in conditions of domestic, sexual violence or trade.” 235. In this regard, the Court notes that the State gave specific information regarding the institutions, norms, programs, and actions developed in this sphere, whose existence or validity was not questioned by the Commission, and to which the Commission also did not present information regarding possible deficiencies or problems. As such, the Court states that the duty to provide motive and establish the claims for reparations and costs is not satisfied with generic requests where there is no attached evidence or supporting argumentation (supra para. 232). The abovementioned prevents the Court from addressing the requested measures. vii) Participatory programs to contribute to the reinsertion in the community of indigenous women victims of rape 236. The Commission requested the Court to order the State to design participatory programs to contribute to the reinsertion of indigenous women victims of rape into the community. 237. The State presented information regarding some public policies initiated at a federal level as well as within the state of Guerrero regarding the participation of indigenous women in the diagnostic of the situation of violence against women and the “socialization of the legal instruments that recognize said women’s’ rights.” In particular, the State reported on training workshops for indigenous women, indigenous authorities, 284 Cf.
