Data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP) reveals that during the first semester of 2026, the state of Coahuila accumulated 238 formal complaints for simple and statutory rape, while neighboring Durango recorded 125 cases. These figures, part of the latest official report on violence against women, highlight the ongoing security challenges and prevalence of gender-related crimes across both northern entities.
Nationwide, the report indicates that a total of 10,077 rape investigations were opened between January and June of this year. In addition to sexual offenses, the report details statistics for other high-impact crimes in the region. For instance, Coahuila registered 3 feminicides and Durango recorded 6, while reports of intentional physical injuries reached 1,111 in Coahuila and 497 in Durango.
Furthermore, the data underscores widespread concern regarding domestic violence, with Coahuila accumulating 7,418 family violence reports and Durango registering 2,605 during the same six-month period. State authorities and specialized advocacy groups emphasize that these statistics—compiled directly from local prosecutors’ offices—underscore the critical, ongoing necessity for enhanced victim support services, proactive institutional response, and stronger prevention strategies to combat violence against women across northern Mexico.
