Violence towards women by their couples or former couples, whose ultimate cause is the inequality between men and women existing in our societies, is one of the main challenges we must face as a municipality committed to equality, both in terms of prevention as well as assistance.

This violence infringeshuman rights, therefore it is necessary to set up mechanisms for the assistance of the victims as well as actions which enable its eradication.

Here you will find useful information about the network of municipal resources of prevention and assistance. Get informed and help in its spread. With the involvement of all of us, we will manage to end up with male violence.
