Since last September, the Attention and Support Centers in complaint processes, known as Violet Points, were launched in Costa Rica.
The services offered by Violeta Points are:
- Attention, information and guidance to women victims of violence, particularly harassment and sexual harassment, about their rights and routes of action in the different offices and powers.
- Psychological first aid for women victimized with any type of sexual harassment and harassment.
- References for the care of women victims of violence.
- Legal advice and representation for sexual harassment and harassment processes in all regions of the country when applicable.
There are 31 Violeta Points in the country, with hours from Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. The services provided there are free and available to all women.
