The Attorney General Office announced the start of operations of the call center for assistance to gender crimes. Life Line 809 200-1202 is now an emergency line with national reach for timely assistance and particularly to prevent femicides. The Attorney General Office says that the service previously was only available in the National District and with limited working hours. As of Tuesday, 12 December 2017, the service serves all points in the country 24/7.

Upon making the presentation, Attorney General Jean Alain Rodriguez explained that a multidisciplinary team composed of a director, a prosecutor, call center telephone operators, supervisors, crisis care psychologists, police officers and assistant lawyers, among others, have been hired and trained for the re-launch of the service.
