For his part, the Minister of Social Welfare of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, and head of the Center for Equality and Attention to Women (CIAM), Marci Acuña, detailed that one of the objectives set by the Ministry "was to make this service more visible, facilitating access and information to women victims of abuse and their children and families, while continuing to deepen prevention to change attitudes, especially in adolescence".
In addition to the website, the Cabildo of Lanzarote presented five resources and brochures that are aimed at the general population, but also at a young audience with various campaigns and actions on them.
