These points aim to inform citizens on how to act in case of potential violence or aggression, as well as to publicize available support resources and services. In addition to providing information, the Violet Point offers advice and support, particularly for women who may be in a vulnerable situation or require assistance.
The Councilor for Equality, Laura Sevilla, highlighted the importance of maintaining these spaces during the festivities to involve society as a whole in the fight against gender-based violence. She noted that this initiative complements the work of security forces and contributes to fostering education in values, the prevention of abuse and aggression, and respect for all individuals.
Violet Points also serve as spaces for visibility and awareness, helping to sensitize the public about the violence women may experience, especially in festive settings. The goal is for everyone to enjoy leisure and celebrations with freedom, peace of mind, and complete safety.
The councilor also took the opportunity to remind that L'Alfàs del Pi has a Multidisciplinary Committee on Gender Violence, established by the City Council to improve early detection, strengthen prevention, and provide a coordinated and effective response to potential cases of gender-based violence.
This body brings together professionals from various fields, including security forces, social services, and educational and health centers, who work together to establish action protocols and ensure diligent and specialized intervention.
The Department of Equality encourages women experiencing violence to report it and seek help, as well as anyone who is aware of or suspects such a situation may be occurring.
This initiative is funded by the State Pact against Gender Violence, which allows for the establishment and reinforcement of municipal service protocols in this area.
