Effective network between the various services and professionals who intervene from several areas (social services, health care, police, justice, judiciary and education) to act more efficiently in situations of violence against women.

This protocol is written by and for those of us who organise festa majors (big annual festivals) in Poble-sec. Our aim is to make our own small contribution to the fight against sexism and create spaces where we can relate to one another safely, with consent, freely and on an equal footing, etc. That is why we are talking about “empowerment”, as a cross-cutting goal. The idea is to ensure a place for safety and trust where, in the event of a sexual assault, the people affected feel they have sufficient support and trust to act for themselves. Even so, we wish to train ourselves to act and take on joint responsibility, and we wish to learn to mark limits and understand consent so we can raise awareness of this process.

Prepared by the Barcelona Circuit against violence against women with the participation of its professionals, this guide aims to be an aid to the professionals of the public network of Barcelona, so that they can better detect and approach situations of gender violence, adapting the methodologies of work for a better attention to the men -and of rebound to their families- in a context of gender violence.

An eminently practical document that provides basic tools for Primary-Care Social-Service team professionals to improve their care for women and their young children in gender violence situations and be able to detect such violence even where the women involved are not openly explicit about it.

It sets out the initiatives to be implemented by the City Council when there is a femicide in the city. The protocol consists of two parts: the first refers to the external institutional communication of condolence and rejection and the second sets out the internal lines of action, the coordination and the roles of the various services and players involved in the response in cases of gender violence.

The “We won’t keep quiet” protocol is a protocol launched by the City Council together with a dozen concert and music festival halls to act against sexual assaults and harassment at night-time leisure venues.
