Five state entities that will watch over your rights in this quarantine period

Five state entities that will watch over your rights in this quarantine period

In these days of quarantine, we have received cases of people who want to report a situation of harassment or discrimination and do not know how to do it; or people who want to approach a family police station to report a situation of domestic violence. Thinking of them and all the people who may need information about the channels of attention of some State institutions that watch over our rights, we have created this list of these entities, the way to communicate with them and the services they offer.
