San Salvador, May 31 (Prensa Latina) Salvadoran Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) on Wednesday reportedly stood out the launching a protocol on political violence against women.

“ It is a good start, but there must be a commitment of all parties to not put up with it,” pointed out an ed of El Mundo newspaper.

The TSE on Tuesday launched a Protocol for the Prevention and Attention of Women Victims of Political Violence, an important tool to raise awareness about the existing cruelty against women in political participation.

El Mundo noted, “this is a positive initiative in the face of the misogynist political nonsense that has unfortunately prevailed in recent years and in the past electoral campaigns.

Disrespect to women -of all political colors- is a constant and some celebrate it with a shameful brazenness that cannot continue to happen, the press release pointed.

Unfortunately, this not only occurs against women who participate in politics, but also against journalists who are verbally assaulted and offended, using social networks, the journal’s ed pursued, requesting that it should also be included in the body’s protocol.

Such behavior cannot be endorsed or justified, wherever it comes from. Hopefully, the forum itself has the courage to denounce these facts and not tolerate them at all, the editorial stated.

The press release described as essential that the Salvadoran society as a whole understands that political debate and differences of thought, do not have to go through vulgarity, or offense to anyone, much less to women.
