Public policies and violence against women. The State Pact against Gender-Based Violence in the Valencian Community
Keywords:
State Pact, gender-based violence, violence against women, gender budgeting, Valencian CommunityAbstract
The implementation of the State Pact against Gender-Based Violence (PECVG) involves the state, regional and local levels: the Spanish Government transfers of economic resources to the autonomous communities and municipalities. In this article, we will analyse the way the Government of Valencia distributed the PECVG resources during the period 2018 to 2023.
From the gender budgeting framework, we determine whether there is a suitable match between the regional budget’s distribution of these resources and the needs detected to serve victims of violence against women. To do so, we conduct semi-structured interviews with professionals in this field and perform a document analysis of the regional budget and other institutional documentation.
We found that there is broad room for improving the proposed budgetary investment of these resources to make them an input that could foster a paradigm shift in the system that attends to victims of violence against women to ensure that it focuses on women’s needs and interests.
