The Council of Ministers has just approved on Tuesday in the first round the law that comprehensively addresses vicar violence. “With this law we respond to the hard reality of vicar violence,” said the minister at the press conference after the government meeting. The preliminary draft also reforms the Criminal Code to incorporate a crime of Vicaria violence, although not only circumscribed to sexist violence. Also the Comprehensive Law against Gender Violence will be another of the norms that reform the text to expressly define what is considered vicaria violence, incorporating it “as a manifestation of sexist violence,” government sources point out. The agreement reserved a specific section for Vicaria violence, whose extreme expression is the murder of children but has many other manifestations.
