Six days without Diana Laura Rangel, the CCH student who disappeared towards the historic center of the CDMX

Debanhi, Marcela, Ingrid, Brisa, Jenifer, as well as thousands of girls and women in general, were disappeared for several days in Mexico, leaving a vacuum, desolation and above all anger for their families. And it is that disappearances in this country seek, as a foreground, to hide cases of femicide, sexual violence, trafficking in persons, among others. However, sometimes the tireless search for them continues.

Diana Laura Rangel Chávez, a student at the College of Sciences and Humanities, Naucalpan campus, is the name of a young woman whose whereabouts are still unknown.

It has been six days since she left her home on April 17 and so far she is not known about her. According to information from her relatives, Diana left her home around noon last Sunday and was on her way to Bellas Artes, an emblematic cultural site, located in the Historic Center of Mexico City, but she never returned.

Diana, 17, who lives in the Profesor Cristóbal neighborhood, in the municipality of Atizapán de Zaragoza, wore a black sports shorts, mint shirt, white sneakers and a pink backpack on the day she disappeared.

Although her mother has already raised alerts, reported the case and asked for the support of the authorities, she still cries for more help to be able to find her whereabouts. “I request to continue helping me in its dissemination until I find you Diana Rangel. It is very difficult for me to express at the moment what I am going through as a single mom. I have my daughter missing. I also ask for your understanding so that you only provide relevant information and do not clutter my phone. Please share.”

According to the emergency bulletin of the Attorney General's Office of the State of Mexico, anyone with information about the young woman may contact the telephone number: 800 89 029 40.

Multiple cases of disappearance have resounded on television screens or any digital and print media. The United Nations (UN) even warned about its increase in general.

The most recent case that shocked the country was that of 18-year-old Debanhi Escobar, who had been missing since April 9. His body was found inside a hotel cistern Thursday night on a highway in the suburbs of Monterrey, capital of the state of Nuevo León.

In addition, during the search for Debanhi, five more young people were found in various parts of the city. So far this year alone, there are about 327 missing women in the state.

It should be remembered that violence against women has increased worryingly in recent years, since according to official figures, there are at least 10 people killed a day.

The protocol that must be considered and lifted immediately, after the disappearance of a woman is that known as Alba, a mechanism that was initially implemented in Ciudad Juarez.

It is an action and coordination plan implemented by the three levels of government, which involve the media, civil society, as well as public and private agencies, to find the whereabouts of a woman throughout Mexico.

It is an important strategy, as the first few hours of searching are crucial to finding people alive. Its main objective is precisely to begin with the immediate search for the disappeared, so it will be necessary to know their phases.
