In a dialogue with the presidential press, after the recent meeting of the Council of Ministers, Peña praised the “National system for registration, attention, follow-up, and monitoring gender violence cases, especially in the family environment,” presented to the national executive.
The attorney general explained that a 25-expert group from the Interior Ministry (MININT) and the Supreme People’s Court (TSP) developed the computerized and interoperable administrative registry to use these institutions’ platforms for managing criminal proceedings.
She explained that this administrative registry aims to have statistical information for prevention in the fight against gender-based violence, and explained the elements obtained from such a tool in 2023.
According to the data collected, 75 percent of gender violence cases occurred at home, a trend that continues this year; 72 percent of those victims were aged between 25 and 59 years; and 45 percent were unpaid workers.
Peña noted that implementing the National Registration System and the transparency of its results strengthens the Rule of Law, contributes to discouraging cases of violence, combats impunity, increases the population’s legal education, and strengthens the social network around a problem that affects everyone.
