COMMON PROTOCOL FOR A HEALTHCARE RESPONSE TO GENDER VIOLENCE 2012 |
| Descripción: |
The Commission Against Gender Violence, created within the Inter Territorial Council of the National Health System has been supporting technically and orienting the planning of the health, care measures established in Chapter III, Organic Act 1/2004 for Comprehensive Protection Measures Against Gender Violence. In April 2007, the release of the Common Protocol for a Health Care Response to Gender Violence supplied Health Care Practitioners with an essential tool against gender violence. Its first aim was to provide them with homogeneous action guidelines for attending and monitoring as well as for prevention and early detection of cases of violence that specifically target women. The wealth of experience gained by the Autonomous Communities' Health Services and a rapid evolution of the mounting scientific evidence on the impact of gender violence on women's health and their children's particularly when occurring in greater vulnerability contexts (pregnancy, immigration, disability, rural areas, elderly women, etc.), have enabled the presentation of this new edition of the Health Care Common Protocol. The criteria of follow-up and personalized accompaniment throughout the process, the multi and interdisciplinary care provided by the team of professionals and the coordination and collaboration with other sectors (education, public Prosecutor's Office, forensic practitioners, law enforcement and security, local resources, etc.), orient health care actions transversally through the Protocol. |
