Victims of gender violence, accompanied by members of the Casal de la Dona de Terrassa, reported serious deficiencies in judicial care to Dean Judge Jordi Álvarez Morales during a meeting held on Wednesday, January 21.

The women highlighted the need to advance towards achieving "good treatment" during the judicial process, as the attention currently received often depends on "luck" depending on the assigned prosecutor or judge. The Dean Judge received the complaints with "understanding," although he did not specify immediate actions.
The two main demands, previously stated on several occasions, focus on establishing an internal protocol for good treatment for complainants and making gender perspective training mandatory for judicial system professionals, rather than voluntary as it is now.
“

"Despite the progress made in recent years regarding equality and the fight against gender violence, situations of revictimization still occur, especially in cases of psychological, physical, or digital violence."

The entity also criticized that in the courts, "the moment women report is questioned, their credibility is doubted, or they are made to feel like they are lying," situations they describe as "unacceptable" and which constitute obstacles to real access to justice.
Finally, they urged the Dean Judge to take measures to eradicate institutional violence and effectively incorporate the gender perspective into the judicial system, in addition to requesting information about the trial schedule at Violence Court 2.
