Unit for attention to and prevention of gender violence in the cultural sector

The Ministry of Culture will promote a unit for the care and prevention of male violence in the cultural sector, whose main objectives will be, firstly, to accompany victims of male violence and, secondly, to carry out specific studies for the development of protocols and recommendations that respond to the specific needs of each sector and organization linked to culture.

This initiative comes to realize the commitment that the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, already expressed at the last gala of the Feroz Awards to work to ensure that culture is “a safe space for all women”, free, in this sense, of male violence.

This unit will respond to the need to combat gender-based violence from the specific characteristics of the cultural sector and its different areas. To this end, it will work with a multidisciplinary approach, in agreement with cultural professionals and also with the feminist associations that are members of the Observatory for Gender Equality in the field of Culture, experts in the prevention of such violence and the advice of other successful experiences that have already been implemented.
