- The Government Delegation in Madrid has provided training and distinctive materials for the three MUFACE offices that become Punto Violeta
The government delegate in the Community of Madrid, Francisco Martín Aguirre, visited today one of the headquarters of the General Mutuality of Civil Servants of the State (MUFACE), whose offices have just joined the network of Violeta Points in the region.
Specifically, he went to the office located on Modesto Lafuente Street, which was accompanied by the general director of MUFACE, Myriam Pallarés Cortón; the provincial director, Domiciana de la Fuente, and the head of the Coordination Unit Against Violence Against Women of the Government Delegation in Madrid, Eva Corrales Melero.
This means incorporating its three offices with public attention to this deployment, which seeks to continue expanding the network of safe spaces for women victims of violence in the region, considering that it is necessary to take advantage of “any opportunity to offer help”.
In this regard, Francisco Martín has expressed his willingness to continue with this expansion of Violeta Points in all the public service offices of the General State Administration (AGE) in the Community of Madrid, and has recalled that both the Registry and Foreigners offices of the Government Delegation itself, as well as those of the Tax Agency, Social Security and the Treasury have already been added. Along with them, other institutions not dependent on the AGE such as the Rey Juan Carlos University.

Violeta Points
The Violet Point is an instrument to involve the whole of society in the fight against male violence. The objective is to spread, in a massive way, the information necessary to know how to act in a case of violence against women. This instrument places male violence as a structural problem that requires the involvement of society as a whole to put an end to it. Through different tools, it seeks to bring information about integral services closer to where the victims are.
