The Spanish government announced an overhaul to the VioGen program, which uses an algorithm to assess domestic violence risk for victims, after concerns about its effectiveness.
Some women labeled as low risk by the algorithm later experienced severe harm, leading officials to revise the program to prevent future tragedies and improve outcomes.
The updated VioGen 2 will eliminate the labeling of women as facing no risk, and require more detailed victim information for better prediction accuracy.
Changes also aim to enhance collaboration between agencies addressing violence against women, making information sharing easier, and offering victims personalized protection plans.
