**CEDHBC Requests 52 Million Pesos for Fiscal Year 2025**
The State Human Rights Commission of Baja California (CEDHBC) has submitted a request for a budget of 52.6 million pesos for the fiscal year 2025. This request was presented to the Finance and Budget Commission of the state Congress. According to Jorge Ochoa, head of CEDHBC, the commission is one of the least funded in the country. Despite this, it ranks fifth nationally in organizing training and dissemination events aimed at strengthening the culture of human rights.
Ochoa emphasized that CEDHBC is a crucial organization recognized by the state, its institutions, the business sector, educational entities, and the general population. He noted that the proposed budget is essential to support educational efforts to better train public servants in their roles. The funding would also facilitate opening new offices in San Felipe and Tijuana’s Eastern Zone to ensure services reach the most vulnerable communities.
Facing multiple institutional challenges, CEDHBC continues its mission to improve human rights across the state. “We must always strive to enhance the enjoyment of rights by implementing all necessary actions and measures to advance their full observance,” Ochoa remarked.
