Sara Hernández

Sara Hernández is the Head of the Mobility Service of the Departament de Territori (Department of Territory) within the Generalitat (Government of Catalonia). She is currently newsworthy due to her involvement in the development of a unified protocol for installing "purple buttons" (botones lilas) on public transportation to combat gender-based violence. This initiative aims to create a coordinated and rapid response system to address harassment or abuse on metro, train, and bus services, regardless of the operator. The protocol is intended to ensure consistent and effective action across different transportation networks within Catalonia. Her role in leading this project highlights the Generalitat's commitment to addressing gender-based violence and improving safety on public transport.
