Comments

Priority measure 79 addresses several issues associated with peaceful coexistence, education, recreation, health, and security, for the purpose of preventing important social problems in the region, including poverty and social exclusion. These constitute a set of measures and lines of action to be pursued in different spheres. In this case, special attention will be paid to the issues of citizen security, recreation and public spaces. Priority measures 1 and 2 of chapter A address the issue of poverty and exclusion, while priority measures 56, 57 and 58 of chapter E consider the issue of gender violence.

Possible lines of action
