The Más Madrid candidate for the regional presidency, Mónica García, wants the administrations to “match” security with protocols to avoid sexual assaults in dating applications, with the development of a comprehensive protection law against digital violence and with a public app for women victims of harassment to receive from the Community “tools, accompaniment and institutional support”.
García, together with the candidates for the Assembly Loreto Arenillas and Tesh Sidi, met with the organization specialized in cyberbullying MujeresTech and the association of women lawyers Themis, meeting that has served to detail the proposal for a law against digital violence in order to tackle this problem from prevention.

Dani Alves case
It has also put on the table the complicity that the Administration could have with dating applications such as Tinder or Meetic to implement protocols such as those that exist in entertainment venues and that they have shown that they work, as happened in the Dani Alves case.
“And when we arrive at the Puerta del Sol we want there to be an app, a public app, in which the women who receive this harassment can have tools, accompaniment and institutional support from the government of the Community of Madrid”, the candidate announced. With this public app, the victims of harassment would have at their disposal “all the tools to be able to report it.”
This public tool would be put at the service of dating apps, so that women who suffer some type of sexual violence with a user can report to the application information about what happened. I would have a chat and refer to the resources and information available to ensure safety.
‘Warning’ button
More Madrid You’re already talking to the dating apps, companies that are “concerned about this digital violence and harassment”. “Many women, more than 50%, feel intimidated and forced in some way to have sex on these dating applications,” Mónica García warned.

“We want there to be a ‘warning’ button that you can press and have an application where you can go”, detailed the Más Madrid candidate when announcing these tools that are intended to “prevent, tackle and denounce“. In addition, the application would be obliged to study each specific case and apply the protocol against sexual assaults in those in which it is required.
García has urged to have an “accomplice Administration, because it cannot be like the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso againa mere spectator”. “You have to realize that digital sexual violence exists in dating applications”, just as these platforms are also “concerned” by the use that can be made of them.
“(This type of violence) we experience in entertainment venues, in the same way that we live it in the street and also in these applications. And there are protocols that are working in entertainment venues, such as the one that raised the alarm in the case of Dani Alves,” the head of the opposition stressed.
Más Madrid wants “these dating applications, the digital world and that of the lawyers who defend the fight against this sexual violence against women to enter there is a match that comes to solve a problem that has arisen”.
