The Government approves measures against political violence and demands that seek to silence women

The Spanish government has approved the IV Strategic Plan for Effective Equality between Women and Men, which includes over 750 measures to be implemented until 2029. The plan aims to reduce persistent inequalities between men and women in Spain. It addresses two new issues: violence against women in politics and strategic lawsuits against public participation, known as SLAPPs, which are used to intimidate or silence journalists, human rights defenders, and activists. The plan will likely be continued by the government that wins the general elections on November 29.
