  • “The fight against gender-based violence is a real priority, with facts and resources, not just with declarations,” she stresses.

The Head of the Coordination Unit against Violence against Women of the Government Delegation in Melilla, Laura Segura, has highlighted the progress of the renewed State Pact against Gender Violence, which has already begun the implementation of 235 of the 461 measures planned, which represents a 51% compliance during this year 2025.

Segura stressed that “we talk about a living Pact, which does not remain on paper, but translates into concrete actions for the prevention, detection and protection of victims.” In this regard, he recalled that the Government of Spain has allocated more than 82 million euros in 2025 for the direct implementation of the measures of the Pact, to which is added another 200 million transferred to autonomous communities and local entities.

The head of the Coordination Unit has highlighted the central role of the Ministry of Equality, which drives most of the actions and has implemented more than half of the measures assigned to it, with an investment of more than 53 million euros. “There is a firm commitment to strengthen public policies against all forms of violence against women, with economic resources, inter-institutional coordination and new legal tools,” she said.

Among the actions promoted this year, Laura Segura has highlighted key initiatives such as the advance of the bill against vicarious violence, the strengthening of support programs for women and girls victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation, as well as the promotion of an effective and transparent use of the funds of the State Pact by all administrations.

It has also highlighted the work carried out in areas such as the socio-labor insertion of victims, social awareness and the improvement of communication with a gender perspective, “fundamental elements for a comprehensive and sustained response to male violence”.

Finally, Segura recalled that the State Pact has a significant financial endowment and the support of most parliamentary groups, which, in her opinion, “demonstrates that the fight against gender violence must be a State policy, based on consensus, responsibility and effective protection of women and their sons and daughters.”
