Statistics indicate 215 victims under the age of 18 in the last two years. The Gobierno de Canarias announced the expansion of the emergency phone infrastructure 112 Canarias. The expansion aims to improve the effectiveness of rescue interventions.

ASG (Asociación de Servicios Sociales) demands equal quality of assistance for victims of sexual violence on La Gomera and El Hierro.
