The sphere of influence of the PAE of Alhama de Murcia includes the municipalities of Alhama de Murcia and Librilla.

The professional team consists of: psychologist, social worker and legal adviser.

The volume of care has grown gradually since 2015. The increase in women attended each year is growing.

57% of women attended in 2017 have been for the first time.

This increase is due to the consolidation of the service and the continuity of the awareness and coordination activities of the PAE with the rest of the municipal resources.

Also highlights the number of young people between 14 and 20 years who have made use of the service (17% girls between 14 and 20 years), an age range that each year is increasing given the improvement in the detection of cases by of professionals, families and also girls and boys who perceive in their peer groups that there are behaviors and attitudes that should not be normalized.

Similarly, it is noteworthy that most users attend the service after separation with the couple, at a critical time and that requires support and psychological, legal and social protection.

As in previous years, approximately half of the users have lodged a complaint against the aggressor (49%) and have obtained an order of protection (35%).

All users have suffered psychological abuse and practically half (46%) also physical.

It is also striking the predominance of Spanish nationality among users (78%).

This data, on the one hand, demystifies the belief that gender violence is more frequent in foreign women and, on the other, makes one doubt the accessibility, knowledge and closeness of the service for women with barriers such as language, ignorance of the resource , fear, uprooting, etc.

Overall, the evaluation of the PAE service is positive as a resource for the attention of women in the municipalities of Alhama and Librilla, as well as their work in prevention and in the possibility it entails for community intervention.
