The Specialised Intervention Service (SIE) for victims of gender violence in Tarragona is a public service of the Department of Equality and Feminisms of the Generalitat de Catalunya, managed by FSC since April 2009, which provides comprehensive care and resources for the recovery process of women who have suffered or are suffering gender violence, as well as their daughters and sons.
The centre’s main objective is to provide information, care and recovery to these people, as well as to promote specific prevention, assistance and community awareness programmes.
