**Natura Leads Baja California in Domestic Violence Reports**
Natura, a neighborhood in Tijuana, has reported the highest number of domestic violence incidents in the state of Baja California, according to the president of Baja California’s Public Security Citizen Council, Roberto Quijano Sosa. Disturbingly, 99% of these cases involve children and women as victims. Quijano Sosa emphasizes the urgent need for prevention efforts right from an early stage to address and curb this issue.
In addition to Natura, the Camino Verde neighborhood within the Sánchez Taboada delegation also reports a high number of domestic violence cases. Authorities note that Natura has the most 911 calls relating to family violence in the region, highlighting the persistence and severity of the problem.
To combat this growing concern, a Municipal Committee for Violence Prevention has been established in Tijuana. The community is encouraged to engage with this initiative to foster a safer environment for all residents.

**Efforts Intensify to Tackle Domestic Violence in Tijuana**
Beyond just raising awareness, local officials are actively working on solutions to address the domestic violence epidemic in Tijuana. A new Municipal Committee for Prevention has been formed, focusing on reducing these distressing incidents through education and community involvement.
Various sectors, including local legal experts, are advocating for a more gender-sensitive approach in justice delivery to better support victims. Likewise, regional leadership calls for thorough investigations into all accusations, ensuring accountability and providing justice to those affected.
In tandem with these efforts, other parts of Tijuana face different challenges— from security at nightlife venues lacking proper training, to older cultural institutions closing due to personal health reasons. Yet, the focus remains strong on improving community safety and leveraging preventive measures as a long-term solution.
