Through the Human Rights Coordination, which reports to the Government Secretariat, the Women's House plays a fundamental role in containing, advising, and accompanying victims in joint work with the Justice system.
Claudia Perillo, head of the aforementioned area, indicated that the first step was to establish an adequate physical space to carry out the various actions with the objective of preserving the identity and providing security to women who unfortunately go through this situation. “We managed to establish a place with all the conditions and the appropriate personnel to be able to provide the assistance that each case needs,” she stated.
This is achieved through joint work with the Justice system, particularly with the Gender Prosecutor's Office, “which has very committed personnel and professionals that allow us to carry out an approach to each complaint and the subsequent intervention of the Women's House,” Perillo pointed out.
In that sense, she indicated that in addition to accompanying victims at each judicial stage, they receive medical attention and psychological support “not only for the person filing the complaint but also for their environment, since there are cases where minors are involved.”
On the other hand, Perillo pointed out that the Government of Entre Ríos currently has a labor insertion or reintegration program “which also plays an important role since there are acts of violence that are related to economic dependence.”
The literacy component is also covered through the programs developed by the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture.
