The municipality announced more than 250 bracelets as part of its prevention arrangements.
Equality councillor Verónica Perelló presented the bracelets to RTVE as the festivities began. The report distinguishes Alovera’s initiative from another brand’s capsules planned for nearby El Casar.
The PAVE support point uses separate protocols for different forms of violence. It addresses gender-based violence, drug-facilitated assault and anti-LGBTI abuse.

RTÉ reported calls from the Sexual Violence Centre in Cork to strengthen responses to substances administered without consent. The organisation linked its demands to experiences received through support services and prevention campaigns.
