Confinement can aggravate the situations of male violence that many women in Totana suffer and make it difficult for them to seek help.

If you hear screams, fights, beatings and believe that a macho aggression is taking place, call 112 or the security forces and forces.
Neighbors are the closest "relatives" currently, so we cannot look the other way, this confinement can be a real hell for many women and their children, because they are locked up with their aggressors and have fewer opportunities to verbalize, share or ask help, seek information or advice.
