The courts have multiplied the suspensions of the visitation regime as a result of complaints of ill-treatment.
This follows from the data provided this Friday by the
Observatory against Domestic and Gender Violence
.
The increase in 2021 compared to the previous year was 132%, product according to the observatory of the application of the new Comprehensive Law for the Comprehensive Protection of Children and Adolescents against Violence.
The growth is, however, much higher, given that the law came into force at the end of June 2021, so it only affected the second semester.
In fact, the increase in suspensions in the last quarter compared to the same period of the previous year exceeded 400%.
The norm, approved with a very large majority in the Courts, establishes that the judge "shall suspend the regime of visits, stay, relationship or communication" of the defendant in a matter of gender violence when there are indications that the children have witnessed the violence.
The suspension is, therefore, the starting point, and the judge, if he does not adopt it, must justify why he does not do so.

, values "positively" some data data reflect "the greater protection enjoyed by the sons and daughters of victims of sexist violence" after the entry in force of the law.
The observatory data reflects other statistical increases, although not as spectacular.
The main one is the increase in complaints of gender-based violence, which last year rose by 8% compared to 2020. The 162,848 complaints mean that an average of 446 are filed every day. Looking at the figure for the number of women victims of sexist violence, the increase is 9.3%.
According to the Observatory, the upward trend in the main markers of sexist violence since the lifting of the state of alarm due to the health crisis has been maintained steadily since the second quarter of 2021, "which has meant returning to annual figures similar to those of 2019".
In terms of sentences, the percentage of convictions in trials for gender-based violence continues to rise little by little.
In 2021, it reached a new annual historical maximum, reaching 75.62% of the total (there were 41,073 convictions).
They are two and a half points more than the previous year and five above the 2019 data.
