Fortalecimiento de la Comisaría de la Mujer y la Niñez

La **Dirección Comisaría** de la Mujer y la Niñez depende jerárquicamente del Director o Directora General de la Policía Nacional. Las Comisarías de la Mujer y la Niñez de la Policía Nacional que existan en las delegaciones departamentales, distritales y municipales, dependerán funcionalmente de la Dirección Comisaría de la Mujer y la Niñez.

La **Dirección Comisaría** de la Mujer y la Niñez de la Policía Nacional, es una especialidad encargada de la investigación, prevención y tratamiento de los ilícitos penales a los que hace referencia la presente Ley. El Jefe o Jefa de las Delegaciones Municipales de la Policía Nacional, realizarán las investigaciones de los ilícitos penales, mientras no se establezcan nuevas Comisarías de la Mujer y la Niñez en dichos municipios. El trabajo preventivo y el tratamiento especializado a las víctimas de violencia lo ejecutarán
en coordinación con las instituciones del Estado aplicando los protocolos de actuación aprobados.

La **Dirección Comisaría** de la Mujer y la Niñez de la Policía Nacional, es el órgano facultado para decidir el ingreso, permanencia, traslado y egreso del recurso humano que trabajará en la especialidad. De igual forma dispondrá sobre el uso y manejo de los recursos materiales y técnicos destinados para la atención integral a las víctimas del delito.
---------------------------

Inicialmente pensaba que le hacia falta una preposición por lo de "Dirección Comisaría" pero luego busqué documentos oficiales, pero comprobé que estaba equivocado.

Término:
Dirección Comisaría de la Mujer y la Niñez de la Policía Nacional

Mi traducción inicial de éste es:
Head Office of the National Police Station for Women and Children

No obstante, no estoy muy seguro si la parte inicial sea la traducción más apropiada.

A 2011 study by the Latin American Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Societies (FLASOG) notes that “The real incidence of sexual abuse and aggressions is unknown due to the difficulties in registering it, as these events are very often not denounced. Nonetheless, some available data provide an idea of the magnitude of the problem among young and adolescent girls. In Chile, 80% of all charges filed in the ***special police stations*** for minors are for sexual violence. In Colombia, according to information from the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, the rate of sexual abuse charges in 2008 was 293 per 100,000 inhabitants among 10- to 14-year-olds and 168 per 100,000 for 15- to 19-years-olds.”

In the 2000 Decreto ejecutivo para la creación de la comisión nacional contra la violencia hacia la mujer, niñez y adolescencia (Executive Decree on the Establishment of the National Commission against Violence against Women,
Children and Adolescents) violence is defined as "cualquier acción, omisión o conducta que cause muerte, daño o
sufrimiento físico, sexual o psicológico" ("every action, default, or behavior that causes death, physical, sexual, or
psychological harm or pain"). In the 1996 Ley de la Policía Nacional (National Police Law), which introduces the
establishment of Comisarías de la Mujer y la Niñez (Women's and Children's Commissariats, Art. 21), violencia
patrimonial is also not mentioned: "Se creará […] la Comisaría de la Mujer y la Niñez a fin de dar atención especializada en casos de violencia física, psicológica o sexual en contra de la mujer o la niñez." ("There will be […] a Women's and Children's Commissariat established to give specialized attention in cases of physical, psychological, or
sexual violence against women or children.") Not even the 1996 Ley de reformas y adiciones al Código Penal
(Amendment of the Penal Code), which women's organizations refer to as "ley contra la violencia intrafamiliar"
("law against intra-family violence"; for example Herrera 2001: 4), penalizes violencia patrimonial (see the definition of violence in Art. 2 of the amendment and Art. 102 of the reformed Penal Code).

One of the key feminist organizations formed during the early 1990s was the Red de Mujeres contra la Violencia (RMCV). The RMCV was an instrumental part of the broader coalition that successfully advocated for the passage of Nicaragua’s first domestic violence law in 1992, as well as the later establishment of **** specialized women’s police stations known as comisarías de la mujer in 1997**** [Delgado, 2003; Jubb et al., 2008]. Other prominent women’s organizations in Nicaragua include: Movimiento de Mujeres Maria Elena Cuadra, SI Mujer, Movimiento Feminista de Nicaragua, Movimiento Autónomo de Mujeres, as well as a number of smaller neighborhood-based collectives throughout the country.

42 In October 2014, I attended the inauguration ceremony for the Ministry of the Family’s new counseling office at a comisaría in Managua. When I arrived at the comisaría that morning, colorful banners such as “In love there is no fear” were being hung under a small white tent outside the building. One police officer welcomed everyone to the “comisaría of the family and the community” (a clear discursive change from its official institutional name, which is Comisaría of Women and Children). In her remarks, the Director of the Ministry of the Family, Marcía Ramírez, commented, “This is the beginning of a path containing many challenges as we struggle to eradicate the scourge of violence and strengthen the family as the nucleus of society” (emphasis mine).

Yes, I did not address the "Dirección" bit, but merely posted some links, many relative to Nicaragua which was my objective and given that you had a proposal already!

Asker: Hi again Taña! I fully agree with you with "Police Station for Women and Children" but I guess Dirección - Comisaria.. is a higher authority than "Police Station for Women and Children"
