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,
