Spanish term

Comisaria de la Mujer y la Niñez

Spanish to English Other Other Family Law
La Comisaria de la Mujer y la Niñez fue creada 1993 como Proyecto Piloto en el Distrito 5 de la Policía, hace trece años con el objetivo de brindar atención especializada a mujeres, niños, niñas y adolescente en coordinación con el movimiento de Mujeres, Organismos gubernamentales y no Gubernamentales la que ha brindado sus mejores aportes para el desarrollo de esta Especialidad.

A partir de esta experiencia y con una evaluación realizada en julio de 1994 por el Instituto Nicaragüense de la Mujer (INIM) se obtuvieron resultados altamente positivos los que fueron presentados a la consideración de diversos organismos donantes con el fin de continuar con “Proyectos orientados al fortalecimiento y ampliación de esa iniciativa”.

En base a un acuerdo firmado en Diciembre de 1994 entre los gobiernos de Noruega y Nicaragua, se financió el Proyecto titulado “Ampliación y Fortalecimiento de las Comisarías de la Mujer y la Niñez – Fase I”, el que permitió instalar y desarrollar cinco Comisarías, todas con financiamiento de tres años.

Niñez The closest term in this context for Niñez seem to be "Child"
Robert Forstag Dec 28, 2009:
For the reasons I stated... in my answer, I prefer the term that I've offered, but if you feel more comfortable using "women"/"child"/"children", then I would suggest "Police District No. 5: Women and Children Services".
Lydianette Soza (asker) Dec 28, 2009:
Would it be appropriate if ... I translate it as Child and Women Services Division?

Gracias, Claudia. :)
disagree Caminos : It does not equate to the spirit of the legislation (the legal Code for the protection of Women, Children and Adolescents) under which these special police stations/units were created

Woman and Child Police Station

special police station for women and children.
Peer comment(s):
agree Caminos : I would only change it slightly to Women's and Chilren's Police Stations/Units. In Nicaragua, they are intended to be indipendant stations but due to a lack of resources some are units within regular police stations.

Robert,

Por qué no decir: Police Precinct for women and children?
Peer comments on this reference comment:
neutral Robert Forstag : That would be an option, but I think "family" is more succinct and has the added benefit of not sending a negative message about men by leaving them out. In other words, I guess you could say it is "appropriately euphemistic."
9 hrs
disagree Caminos : Robert's proposed term (family) would mean that these stations specialize only in domestic violence crimes, which is incorrect. Euphemisms aside, these stations were created by law to protect vulnerable sections of the population, which do not inlude men
