go to original May 27, 2022

The restaurant business sector of Puerto Vallarta announced that they will join the 'Here You Are Safe' campaign, to get involved in attempts to eradicate gender-based violence and harassment that women experience in public spaces.

This movement, which was presented in Jalisco a few weeks ago, has the purpose that any woman who feels violated can enter a restaurant and ask for help.

In the establishments there will be a 'panic button', which when pressed, gives immediate notice to 911, with the location of the site, so that the security elements can come and resolve the situation.

The intention is that all restaurant entrepreneurs are part of this movement, coordinated in the city by CANIRAC.

Although in Puerto Vallarta there are no real statistics on the harassment of women in public, social networks have become a thermometer of the insecurity that they experience and there are more and more frequent cases in which women narrate bad kidnapping experiences and attempts.
