translated from Spanish: Gender-based violence: More than 100 assailants entered for treatment

In the context of the fight against gender-based violence, specific treatment for aggressor men began to be provided in the province of Mendoza in mid-2018. The initiative is led by Gender and Diversity Directorate (DGD) and aims to provide specialized and interdisciplinary treatment to offenders, either on a voluntary or judicial basis. The treatment considers aspects that allow the aggressor to be guided to understand the harm that their actions can generate and their consequences. It is a therapeutic space open to the community that helps them to think about what is behind the push, the punch, the affective abuse, psychological or economic. This group care and accompaniment strategy focuses on the deconstruction of patriarchal stereotypes, sexual roles, impulse control, jealousy, among other aspects, emphasizing new masculinities. While most of the males who attend are derived from the Mendoza Prison System and are on parole, there are also those who arrive of their own free will. In the province there is a network of boarding groups for males that has teams in the different areas or gender dependencies. There are groups in Las Heras, Godoy Cruz, Capital. It is also articulated with the municipalities of the eastern provincial and the departments of Malargue and General Alvear. In addition, CPA (Preventive Assistance Centers) have been formed in the departments of Maipú and Luján.There are currently more than 100 males in re-educational group treatment in some of these centers. The figure is clear from the data provided by the different boarding teams in the province, so far in 2019.” There is also an agreement in place with the Cable to Earth cooperative that will allow to expand the boarding spaces. In the coming weeks, the opening of a headquarters of its own will be realized that will become the first provincial center of approaching aggressors into gender violence in the province,” said the Director of the Directorate of Gender and Diversity, Silvina Anfuso.Abordaje and care for the maleIf you are a man and require services under the Gender Violence Care and Approach Program, you should contact the Marcelo Lombino graduate or Ricardo Algañaraz, from 8.30 to 13.30, to the numbers 4241862 and 4242281 and request interview.
