While the Viogen system aims to monitor and protect victims of gender-based violence, the recent murder in Santander raises questions about its effectiveness. The absence of prior reports in this case suggests that the system may not be sufficient on its own. Critics argue that overreliance on such systems without comprehensive support structures, including accessible shelters, legal assistance, and psychological counseling, may leave victims vulnerable. A more holistic approach is necessary to address the root causes of violence and provide real protection for those at risk.
