Zaragoza.- The airport of Zaragoza is from today a safer place for women, joining the network of Violeta de Aragón Points. The delegate of the Government in Aragon, Fernando Beltrán, accompanied by the subdelegate in Zaragoza, Noelia Herrero, and the director of the airport, Ricardo López, has placed the badge that accredits that it can offer information and assistance to women victims of gender violence.
The facilities of Garrapinillos, belonging to Aena, are thus incorporated to other bodies of the General Administration of the State such as the Tax Agency, the Finance Delegations, the Public Service of State Employment (SEPE) or the Treasury of Social Security in the fight against this scourge, becoming a first step of assistance to women who go through their offices and claim help.
The Violeta Point is an instrument promoted by the Ministry of Equality to involve the whole of society in the fight against male violence and to extend, in a massive way, the necessary training to know how to act in a case of violence against women.
Beltrán has stressed the importance of continuing to complete the available resources because at any time they can request information or attention. And, in this regard, he recalled the importance of an airport such as Zaragoza, where many special flights are scheduled in summer, having a point of attention such as this.
The Violeta Point includes materials for establishments, entities, companies and public bodies: posters, brochures and the adhesive badge, which in this case has been placed in the Information office of the enclosure, with a QR code linked to the Violeta Point Guide to act against male violence.
Previously, the government delegate had a talk with members of the Security Forces and Corps who work in the facilities (Civil Guard and National Police agents) to whom he informed of the importance of the Zaragoza airport being part of the network of safe spaces in which to offer “information or attention to a woman who requires it”.
Currently, in the VioGén system in Aragón there are 2,477 active cases registered, of which 1,624 correspond to the province of Zaragoza, 640 to that of Huesca and 213 to that of Teruel.
In addition, the number of Aragonese municipalities attached to the system amounts to 20, 14 of them in the province of Zaragoza, 5 in Huesca and 1 in Teruel.
