The purple Way of the Cross has been repositioned at the access to the city, as well as the memorial of the pink cross in the Women’s Park.
It was in April of this year when city hall personnel removed without explanation the 21 purple crosses that were placed at the Las Juntas intersection, as a representation of the way of the cross that women victims of femicide follow, as well as their families to access justice, as well as the pink cross in Las Mujeres park where ribbons with the names of all the victims were hanging.
It was this weekend when the purple crosses were put up again and a new, larger, metal cross was installed in the Women's Park.
At the foot of "la antimonumenta, memorial." 69 women who from 2014 to date have been murdered in the metropolitan area of Puerto Vallarta were remembered; to the cry of "presente", mothers, sisters, children and friends, recalled that justice is still being sought for them and that they continue to fight so that not one more will be a victim of femicide.
There also, the mayor of Puerto Vallarta, Luis Michel Rodríguez, offered public apologies, since it was the city council who first removed the first symbols of the struggle for access to truth and justice for these crimes.
From 2018 to date, according to statistics we collected from the Jalisco Institute of Forensic Sciences, in the North Coast of Jalisco, between the municipalities of Tomatlan, Mascota and Puerto Vallarta, 28 violent deaths of women are counted, four in Tomatlan, one in Mascota and 23 in Puerto Vallarta.
