Margarita Guerrero, councilor of Cambiemos Murcia, will ask in the Plenary on Thursday that the City of Murcia include in its List of Jobs (RPT) the position of equality agent, whose functions currently exercised by an interim social worker.
As explained by Guerrero, nearby municipalities such as Cartagena, Molina de Segura and Torre Pacheco explicitly have this square.
The mayor also said that, with almost half a million inhabitants, Murcia should have more than one agent specialized in this matter.
"If we use Madrid as a reference, there are one every 90,000 people, which in Murcia would translate into four or five agents, in fact, in Manuela Carmena City Council they have approved a transversality plan to bring gender equality to each area. and municipal agency, "added Guerrero.
For municipal training, the Second Plan for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men, approved a few months ago, can not be implemented without sufficient financial and human resources, "which we have denounced on numerous occasions, both in the City Council and the feminist movements , who put this issue at the center of the political debate on March 8. "
"Without providing equality, it is not possible to reverse the long-term situation in relation to gender-based violence in a community in which it is above average," he continued.
"In this Consistory we have workers providing the best services without the necessary personnel to carry out the enormous work existing in the service of attention to victims of gender violence and equality", said Guerrero, who has concluded that, to take advantage of the budget of the The State Pact against Gender Violence would have to cover these needs.
