The setting: Chilpancingo. The bet: the future of thousands of girls
Evelyn Salgado does not mince words. In a movement that mixes political theater with concrete action, the governor presented the third phase of the National Strategy to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. But this goes beyond a simple advertisement.
It is a declaration of principles. A trace in the sand.
“We are fighting every day so that our girls and adolescents have freedom and that no one cuts off their dreams; unrestricted respect for their human rights is above usage and customs,” said Salgado with that intensity that characterizes her.
That’s the crux of the matter. It’s not just statistics. It is a cultural battle.
The strategic move: total coordination
The signing was the central act. An agreement between the state COESPO and the federal Ministry of the Interior. The objective is clear: strengthen coordination to eradicate child marriage and pregnancy in Guerrero.
Because when we talk about girls, there are no half measures.
“From the beginning of this administration we made it clear that not a single child marriage will be allowed,” Salgado remarked. And then, forcefully: “No community practice can be above human rights.”
Strong words in a state where traditions sometimes clash with basic rights.
The numbers give hope. Félix Medina Padilla highlighted a 24% reduction in the teenage pregnancy rate in Guerrero. It’s not magic. It is coordinated work.
Gabriela Rodríguez Ramírez explained the plan: actions focused on 11 priority municipalities, those with the highest rates. Do not disperse efforts. Go to the heart of the problem.
The event brought together the entire political cast: university rector, president of the Court, secretaries, mayors of key municipalities such as Cuajinicuilapa and Tlacoachistlahuaca. When it comes to the future of girls, there seems to be a consensus.
My father always said that politics is measured by its impact on daily life. Here there are girls who will be able to continue studying, dreaming, living their childhood. That’s not empty political theater.
It is changing destinies.
