The Ombudsman’s Office will fight gender violence together with the Justices of the Peace and will work in a coordinated manner with the Communes and Communal Councils to completely eradicate the problem that affects women, girls with disabilities and adolescents, who are victims of domestic or psychological violence.
In this sense, the Ombudsman, Alfredo Ruiz, expressed that they graduate and certify men committed to eradicating violence against women, who participate and become multipliers of masculinity workshops, to make it understood that men must respect their fellow men, work with their emotions and with their rationality.
The Ombudsman stated: “We have to deepen this work in each of the Communal Councils and Communes, in the Constitution and the training of Communal Defenders and Justices of the Peace, that is to say that all these institutions and all these people, who work directly in the communities, are articulated, so that we see the issue of violence against women as a public health problem, that is to say; that we have to eradicate it because it affects all of humanity.”
It should be noted that the National School of Human Rights of the Ombudsman’s Office has so far certified more than 20,000 people who attend workshops and diplomas on violence against women, adolescents and girls with disabilities.
