Gema's murder has caused great commotion in the Dianense society. Thursday afternoon at 20 hours, about 200 people responded to the call of the feminist movement and concentrated in silence in the Town Hall Square in memora of the deceased and as a protest against gender violence.
After five minutes of silence, the local journalist Verónica Mengual read a statement expressing its sadness at what happened with Gema. "It is not fair that in the 21st century a person loses his life for violent reasons, and less at the hands of someone in his family", so it was required that "Administrations, whatever their color, must invest and create prevention plans where future generations are being formed".
With regard to battered women, from the communique called for increased attention to this group so vulnerable and show them they are not alone to this problem.
Taking advantage of the election campaign, since the press was asked not to forget the victims of male violence in their promises and that no one close your eyes or look the other way to eradicate this social scourge.
At the concentration, members of the Socialist Party, Compromís, of EUPV and above all numerous neighbors who wanted to show their support to the family and friends of Gema.

Of course the system does not work. Women, as the group most affected by this type of violence, must unite, make noise, demand solutions. .this is insane. Today ... a woman's life is worth very little ... for Gema and all the other murdered women. For Gulietta, who suffers violence and feels helpless ... for ourselves, for our daughters ... women must fight and say ENOUGH!
Well 4 complaints against a psychopath who is a stalker and 2 assassination attempts by hitting me and hiding at home for 6 months due to lack of evidence. If justice would go better this would not happen…. because just like in my case many women are. And at the end when it is late, people have 5 minutes of silence! Have helped before and this would not happen!
Welcome to a system that does not work !!
