The PSOE asks the Plenary to be part of the VioGén system (24/10/2019)

Councilwoman Teresa Franco explains that it is a comprehensive follow-up procedure, of the Ministry of Interior, which allows risk prediction and protection of women throughout the national territory thanks to the coordination and collaboration of all security forces

The Municipal Socialist Group urges the City of Murcia to adhere to the VioGén system (Integral Monitoring System in cases of Gender Violence), of the Secretary of State for Security of the Ministry of Interior, as another step in the fight against "this social scourge that new victims are charged every day," explains Councilwoman Teresa Franco, who will defend a motion in this regard in the next plenary.

He explains that this system was put into operation in 2007, in compliance with the Organic Law on Gender Violence, and seeks to establish a network that allows the rapid, comprehensive and effective monitoring and protection of battered women, and their sons and daughters, anywhere in the national territory.

Among its objectives are: to bring together the different public institutions that have competences regarding gender violence;

integrate all the information of interest deemed necessary;

make risk prediction;

Follow up and protect victims throughout the country according to the level of risk and carry out preventive work, issuing warnings, alerts and alarms, through the automated notification subsystem, when it detects any incident or event that may endanger integrity of the victim

"We believe that it is a system that completes and intensifies the current measures that try to protect the victim, therefore, the City of Murcia, as other Spanish administrations have already done, should adhere to VioGén and the protocol of collaboration and coordination between the State Security Forces and Bodies and the Local Police in order to make the defense of women and their children more effective, "says Franco.

Adherence to the aforementioned system involves the elaboration of a collaboration procedure between the different security forces that are currently working in this field.

According to the councilor, "all the resources allocated are few because we are witnessing a violence that continues to occur continuously in our society. The data is objective. More than a thousand women have been murdered in Spain at the hands of their male partners in the last years and thousands are frequently physically, sexually and psychologically assaulted, so we are facing a situation of special vulnerability, of social emergency. Machismo kills and a priority objective of public administrations must be to eradicate it. "

In addition, Teresa Franco points out that the United Nations Organization in 1995 recognized that violence against women is an obstacle to achieving the goals of equality, development and peace and violates and impairs the enjoyment of Human Rights and fundamental freedoms.

Therefore, "public authorities cannot be oblivious to gender violence, which constitutes one of the most flagrant attacks on fundamental rights such as freedom, equality, life, security and non-discrimination proclaimed in our Constitution."
