In order to meet these deficiencies, the Projects and Innovation Unit from the Deprivation of liberty and human rights Area has designed a Registration and Communication System of Institutional Violence (SIRECOVI), which focuses on giving response to this critical points for prevention, monitoring and systematization of situations.
