This is SEPE assistance that is available to those who are unemployed and who are not entitled to the contributory benefit or the subsidy. With a monthly amount of 480 euros, women victims of gender violence who are unemployed can access the RAI, among others.

PURPLE DOT

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 spread, in a massive way, the information necessary to know how to act in a case of violence against women.

It is part of the catalogue of urgent measures of the Improvement and Modernization Plan promoted by different ministries of the Government of Spain in the context of male chauvinistic alarm in recent months and represents a change of focus in public policies of attention to victims, placing male violence as a structural problem that requires the involvement of the whole of society to put an end to it.

An instrument that has three transversal objectives: to involve the whole of society in the fight against male violence, to bring comprehensive services closer to the victims through their environment and to provide information on how to act in a case of male violence to establishments, entities, companies, public bodies.

Through the violet dot, citizens can access different tools that allow integral attention in the public space, in this case, in the offices of the SEPE:

  1. Punto Violeta Guide to Dealing with Male Violence: a guide with information on how to deal with a case of male violence in your environment, as well as resources for the victims themselves. It also includes information on what male violence is, its different manifestations, and how to detect it.
  2. Materials for establishments, entities, companies, public bodies: posters and stickers with a QR code linked to the Violeta Point Guide to act against Male Violence, which aim to point out that this space is a safe place for victims, where they can receive information and accompaniment if they need it.
  3. Badges to identify people involved in the fight against male violence: anyone who uses it will represent a gateway for women victims to the resources they need
