“This alliance allowed Hotels of the Posadas group to provide safe and free accommodation in 13 cities in the country and for this 216 employees of this chain and personnel of the government institutions involved received training on how to channel and receive in the hotels the survivors of violence,as well as identifying their needs and referring to the corresponding authorities the attention of their cases, ”he said.
