The Socialist Party calls to City Hall involving the youth movement and the AMPAS in the eradication of gender violence (24/11/2009)

Socialist Councillor Lucia Sanchez praised today as "positive" comprehensive law against gender violence is about to celebrate its first five years of operation.

Sanchez said that this legislation has been "indispensable" for the social awareness against these crimes and to ensure the protection of victims of abuse and to delve into "respect and dignity they deserve."

According to the mayor, at this time, social awareness campaigns have borne fruit and the enormous resources that the Act has been provided have been crucial to minimize the catastrophic effects of this terrible scourge.

Likewise also approved that the PP mayor, Francisco Jodar, do not sign the Convention to implement the Protocol in the municipality of collaboration and coordination between the Security Forces of the State and local police to protect victims domestic violence and gender, an agreement approved by Full Council a year ago at the request of the PSOE.

Budgets of the Autonomous Community

"
