The Autonomous Community, through the General Directorate for Women and Equal Opportunities of the Family Ministry, will significantly improve the attention to victims of gender violence with the creation of a Center for Attention to Women Victims of Gender Violence (CAVI ) in Puerto Lumbreras.
The Community will soon launch the CAVI, which will mean an increase in the number of hours of psychological care, the incorporation of a social worker and a full-time legal adviser to provide comprehensive support to victims in the municipality.
Until now, the municipality of Puerto Lumbreras had a Specialized Attention Point for Victims of Gender Violence in Puerto Lumbreras (PAE) that offered psychological intervention to women.
The Point of Specialized Attention of Puerto Lumbreras is integrated by a psychologist expert in gender violence who works in collaboration with Local Police and Civil Guard of the municipality.
The mayor, Mª Ángeles Túnez, has positively valued the creation of this center, since "women who need to make use of this service will receive comprehensive personalized attention and during the time that each case needs, without having to travel to other locations "
Tunisia stressed that "the purpose of this free service is to provide accompaniment and advice to women who are or have been victims of abuse." From here, specialized attention is provided so that victims of gender violence can successfully face their experiences. Finally, the mayor said that "the fight against gender violence is essential to achieve real equality between men and women."
