Violence against women is up by a third in Alfaz del pi.The Local Safety Committee has met and decided to create a Police Coordination Board which will include members of the Violence Against Women Unit ,Guardia Civil,Policia Local,SocialServices and the Equality Council of alfaz del Pi town hall.
The objective is to provide a total and hopefully effective stand against violence towards women.Complaints from women have increased by a third in a year.This could be for a number of reasons,maybe men are being affected adversely by the economic situation and are reacting violently.It could be that there are no more cases and it is just that more women feel confident about reporting such issues.
One positive thing is that the overall incidence of crime in the town is falling and the council feels that this is due to the extra police being deployed and the better cooperation between Guardia Civil and Policia Local.
