Mexico had no civil or criminal code to bring penalties for crimes related to family violence and rape. In fact, charges could only be brought if the woman could show bruises fifteen days after the alleged attack had occurred.

Esther's suggestion to put the unit in a separate part of the building was initially met with skepticism from the men in authority, who failed to see how providing a safe haven to report a domestic crime would make a difference. But much to their surprise, once a place was provided, women began to show up in numbers too large to ignore. That there was no glaring sign to direct the victims to the special domestic crimes division, but rather a series of arrows taped to the floor of the lobby to indicate where they needed to go, allowed them to retain some privacy as they arrived to report the violations.
