Overview

Protection mechanisms and human rights guarantees deteriorated. Rights defenders, journalists and those searching for disappeared people continued to be subjected to threats, criminalization, killings and enforced disappearance. The authorities failed to recognize the work of women who search for disappeared people, despite the recommendations of international bodies. Protests continued to be suppressed by the police. Torture remained widespread. The number of enforced disappearances increased by 10.5% compared to the previous year, and feminicides and trans-feminicides persisted. Abortion was decriminalized in most states. The authorities continued to deny rights and international protection to migrants. The number of internally displaced people increased.
