- The objective, among others, is to better profile the response of the City of Cartagena in those most vulnerable profiles: women over 60, those who suffer a cultural barrier or those who live in a situation of extreme exclusion

The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena has informed that it is working to propose in the Equality Council that it has been working since September 2017 in the Municipal Plan against Gender Violence, the incorporation of a set of measures to improve the early detection of the macho violence in the municipality.

It is a package of actions that aims, among others, to better profile the response of the City of Cartagena in those most vulnerable profiles: women over 60, those who suffer a cultural barrier or those who live in a situation of extreme exclusion.

The councilor of the orange formation, Ana Rama, wants to propose that the future plan to combat sexist violence includes a specific program for the Centers for the Elderly, the reinforcement of the role of the Social Services and the creation of the figure of the intercultural mediators in these departments.

For the mayor of Cs, "it is important that our social workers increase even more the training for the early detection of cases of sexist violence, this is already contemplated in a general way the draft of the presented plan, but we want to deepen and that the more vulnerable profiles, so it is convenient to promote a training program for the early detection of Gender Violence in the Tele-assistance service and in the Home Help service in the City of Cartagena ".

In addition, Rama believes it is essential "to further develop the participation of women at the municipal level, empowering women's networks to avoid isolation and also increase the training of local police officers to be more prepared to face a service in cases of sexist violence waiting for a specialized group to be created, we must remember that almost 80 percent of women who suffer some kind of aggression of this type do not report it. "

In addition, Ciudadanos wants to continue developing the Protocol of Collaboration and Coordination between the State Security Forces and Corps and the Local Police for the Protection of Victims of Gender Violence, led by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEM) and that was driven by Cs in Cartagena.

The Councilor for Citizens is convinced that "the City Councils are a key actor in the war against violent machismo since they are the administrations closest to the citizen".

And Ana Rama warns, "this plan or any work table that is convened will be useless if there is not the necessary budgetary appropriation behind to specify and execute the actions to be carried out."

The orange training has explained that the Pact against Gender Violence contemplates a modification in the Local Regime Law to give local entities the necessary competences in matters of gender violence and in the promotion of equality policies, "a pact that urges develop as soon as possible ".
