6 which specifically affects journalists” and the “testimony [of Ms. Pérez Torres] before [the] Court which places in the public eye again […] her work and her knowledge of the subject.” 13. That in addition, the representatives indicated that because of the media campaign “which places the stigma of enemies of the city on those who demand justice, and threatens them in a subtle manner,” one of the main actions that can guarantee the safety of Ms. Pérez Torres and her family “is the creation of spaces that provide more information, beyond the official version and campaign for cleaning the image of Ciudad Juárez.” Specifically, the representatives suggested that “in the federal government’s official and paid spaces in the local media, insert sections or spreads of information related to this subject and on women’s rights, with content approved by journalist Pérez Torres” so as to counteract “the lack of information and hostility and constant threat against those who have and act on other types of information and opinion,” as well as “the dissemination of discriminatory phrases and media actions against women, which create stereotypes of subordination and violence against women.” 14. That on the other hand, due to the “fear of public security authorities from any level of government, because of how they have handled the investigations of disappearances and homicides of women as well as the investigations and intervention in the threats and murders of people associated to those cases,” the representatives considered that “one of the best ways to guarantee [Ms. Pérez Torres’] life, her integrity, and that of her family, is through the protection that the State can provide by creating a fund, which could be managed as a trust, that allows the money to be used to pay for personal security through security organizations which she trusts.” They added that “[t]his same fund can provide the money necessary for her to move with her family to places where she has better safety guarantees.” 15. That in the private meeting and public hearing held in Santiago, Chile (supra Having Seen 2 and 3), the State expressed that it has maximum interest in the protection of all of the people who may be in a risk situation and indicated its commitment to the protective measures in this case. 16. That the State reported that it summoned Ms. Pérez Torres, her family and representatives to a meeting with the institutions of the Mexican government involved, and presented the minutes of that meeting, held on May 8, 2009, which contain the following: a) that “[t]he petitioners will file a complaint as soon as possible, upon agreement by the beneficiary of the measures, because of the facts generated by the request for the […] measures;” b) that “[t]he petitioners express that the beneficiary is not interested in having the public security bodies, either municipal, state or federal, provide the protective measures [and] prefers that it be an international organization;” c) that “the representatives […] expressed that they began talks with [one] NGO” and “they pledge to immediately inform the Secretary of the Interior of the result of those talks;”
