The City Council will allow hiring staff without completing training in gender violence in the new centers for victims
Companies will be able to hire workers without the required hours of experience or training when it is difficult to fill vacancies or positions, or if they commit to acquiring them later. The council defends that this has been happening "for years" and is "totally exceptional".
The Madrid City Council plans to revamp its network for supporting women victims of gender violence. The council will consolidate services from Espacios de Igualdad and ambulatory attention points into 19 new Centros Integrales de Atención a la Mujer (CIAM). The management of these centers will be outsourced to private companies.
A contract worth 50 million euros was put out to tender last summer for 18 of these centers, but was rejected by the Tribunal Administrativo de Contratación Pública due to issues with strike rights; the council plans to revise and reissue the tender.
