At the international level, Spain has signed and ratified all relevant Conventions (against discrimination against women, rights of the child, International Criminal Court, the Palermo Convention, etc.). At the level of the Council of Europe, Spain has also signed and ratified all the main Conventions in this matter, e.g.: the European Convention on the Compensation of Victims of Violent Crimes, the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse, the Istanbul Convention, etc. At the level of the EU, Spain has adopted all the mandatory legislation, particularly the victims’ rights Directive of 2012 and specific Directives on victims of human trafficking, child victims of sexual exploitation and child pornography and terrorism.

However, as will be also commented on in the following chapter, the major gaps in victim support and services in Spain refer to the insufficient personal in the public services and the insufficient coordination (mostly achieved for intimate partner violence of men against women). In this sort of victimisation, the advancement in the gathering of data for evaluation is also observed in comparison to other crimes.
