• The government delegate has presided over a minute of silence at the IES San Isidoro in Cartagena, where he has visited the Violeta Point constituted in the educational center

• The initiative, launched by the Government of Spain in 2021, turns the centers adhered to into safe and trusted points where to offer support, information and advice to the victims of Gender Violence

27 October 2025. The government delegate this morning condemned the murder of a 19-year-old woman yesterday in Librilla for alleged gender violence and called for all the firmness and social and political support to end the scourge of male violence.

“If confirmed as a crime of this nature, we would be facing the second woman killed by male violence in the Region of Murcia this year. Therefore, on a day like today, I want to call on all civil society, institutions and political forces to unite, join forces and end once and for all gender violence,” said Francisco Lucas during his visit to the Violeta Point of the IES San Isidoro de Los Dolores, in Cartagena.

The Punto Violeta initiative, launched by the Government of Spain in 2021, allows the affiliated centers to be safe and trusted points where they offer support, information and advice to the victims of Gender Violence.

Since then, numerous bodies, institutions, professional associations and even shopping centers in the Region of Murcia have been established in Punto Violeta.

“I would like to thank the management, faculty and students of the IES San Isidoro de Los Dolores for their commitment and sensitivity to this cause and for having requested to become Punto Violeta. It is a pride to see how schools like this are involved in tackling one of the biggest challenges we have as a society, which is to put an end to this scourge,” added Lucas.

The IES San Isidoro, which requested at the end of last year to become Punto Violeta, is the first educational center in the Region that has officially requested it, thus asking for the corresponding support and institutional training from the Coordination Unit against Violence on Women of the Government Delegation.

Thus, in order for it to have the appropriate tools and materials, this unit developed a training day divided into two sessions. The first, addressed to ESO students who had voluntarily applied to participate in the initiative and the second, addressed to volunteer teachers.

Each ‘Violet Dot’ has a QR code to download an Informative Guide on what to do in situations of ‘Violence on Women’, distinguishing four assumptions:

- I'm the victim.

- Someone around me is a victim.

- I know someone who may be experiencing gender-based violence.

- I see an assault.

The campaign material consists of signage and ‘Punto Violeta’ vinyls, available on the DGVG website to ‘self-print’ and install in establishments and shops.

In this way, the Violeta Points convey a message of trust and contribute to women losing the fear of denouncing their aggressors, as they feel supported and protected.
