Care directory

An informative guide that aims to be a working tool at the service of all public institutions and those professional teams that, directly or indirectly, accompany women victims and/or survivors of gender-based violence. This text has been conceived as a practical tool, both for Spanish women, whether they are in our country or abroad, as well as for foreign women who require knowledge about the information and support system, in case they need it.

Punto Violeta is an instrument promoted by the Ministry of Equality to involve society as a whole in the fight against gender violence and to spread, on a massive scale, the information necessary to know how to act in the event of violence against women. It is part of the catalog of urgent measures of the Improvement and Modernization Plan promoted by different ministries of the Spanish Government in the context of the male violence alarm of recent months and represents a change of focus in public policies for victim assistance, placing male violence as a structural problem that requires the involvement of society as a whole to put an end to it.

Detailed information on care resources for victims of gender violence such as the 016 telephone number, the telephone service for care and protection of victims of violence against women, devices for telematic control of restraining measures and sentences, web resources and state of alarm.

The Caregivers School at the “la Caixa” Foundation provides non-professional caregivers and volunteers with knowledge, techniques and skills to provide quality care for people who are in a situation of advanced illness or end of life.
