The Government Delegation hosted this morning the third session of the training ‘The General Administration of the State as a Violet Point’ aimed at the staff of the AGE in Melilla, this time with the presence of those responsible for equality of the educational centers of the city, as well as personnel of the Unit of Educational Programs (UPE) of the Provincial Directorate of Education.
This programme aims to provide basic training on violence against women and information on how to deal with a case of male violence and on the resources of the State and the autonomous regions.
The Head of the Coordination Unit against Violence Against Women, Laura Segura, stressed the importance of this training day, after which attendees will be an active part and “agents against gender violence”. In addition, it has specifically addressed those responsible for equality and their important daily work in schools.
“The idea of this day is to raise awareness, raise awareness with data, with content, with theory, so that the issue is known in depth and to offer all possible arguments when working and extending the Violeta Point in the Administration and its staff,” he said.
In this way, it has valued these training activities, “fruit of the collaborative work and the signing of the protocols with the different areas of the General Administration of the State”. “Training is key in the fight against gender-based violence,” she said.
Throughout these training days, Segura explained, attendees are approached to the different realities of gender violence and the various forms of violence against women through the data collected, which “are fundamental to know the reality”.
Segura has stressed that the objective of the Unit is to improve the institutional response given to victims of gender violence in the face of all gender violence, which, she has clarified, is not limited only to those that occur in the context of the couple or the former couple, but includes trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, sexual violence or forced marriages. “We take care of all the violence women suffer just because they are women,” she said.
