The Governing Board has approved the collaboration agreement between the City Council and the Principality for the maintenance of the network of shelters for women victims of gender violence during the financial year 2022. This agreement aims to establish the general framework of collaboration between the parties, the amount of which is 120,000 euros.

The City Council has been developing for years an important work in the care of women victims of gender violence, with a municipal shelter under the Municipal Foundation of Social Services, the Malva House, which was incorporated into the regional network of shelters through accession to the Framework Agreement of Collaboration for the creation of the Regional shelter houses, signed between the Principality of Asturias and the Spanish Red Cross in Asturias by addendum of 13 April 2000. This accommodation was then managed by the Spanish Red Cross in Asturias, an entity that continues to manage this Network this year, by virtue of the Resolution of the Regional Ministry of the Presidency of the Principality of Asturias of 12 September 2022.
