MSF information session in one of the health centers in Colonia Jardín district.
In Acapulco, there is no traditional armed conflict. However, this city on the coast of the Mexican state of Guerrero is considered to be the third most violent city in the world, after San Pedro Sula in Honduras and Caracas in Venezuela. High levels of violence affect most of its inhabitants, including those from the Colonia Jardín district where, in 2014, MSF launched a project together with Health District 07, the Municipal Department of Health and the Acapulco branch of Pastoral Social, offering psychological services and care for survivors of sexual violence.
