The updating process, led by the Department of Gender, Feminisms and LGTBIQ+, aims primarily to guarantee a rigorous institutional response and better define action circuits and roles. This revision responds to the need to adapt the previous framework to regulations approved between 2020 and 2023.
“"As a public administration, we must be exemplary and not generate any kind of institutional violence. Institutions cannot be accomplices by omission, but active agents in the response."
The area's councillor, Emma Duran, highlighted that the update is crucial for incorporating new legally recognized forms of violence, beyond the scope of the partner, including digital, obstetric, economic, trafficking, and sexual exploitation.
The local response circuit in Olesa includes the SIAD (Women's Information and Assistance Service), Social Services, Local Police, and Mossos d’Esquadra, and will be expanded with the Barnahus team (specialized in child sexual violence) and the Department of Migration to ensure an intersectional perspective.
The process has the technical support of the Doble Via cooperative and funding from the Diputació de Barcelona. The update includes a diagnosis phase with key interviews and a citizen survey, and is expected to conclude in October with the public presentation of the new document.
