This failure has triggered a wave of concern among the system's users and has prompted various victims' organizations to demand explanations and immediate improvements in the protection service. 🚨
Immediate Response from Specialized Associations
Foundations such as Alana, ALMA, and Anna Bella have openly expressed their institutional concern following the recorded technical failures. These organizations point out that numerous affected women have seen their trust compromised in the real effectiveness of the bracelets as a safety mechanism. The technical incident directly affected crucial data on the movements and locations of aggressors, representing a significant risk to the integrity of the victims. 📍
Main concerns expressed:- Loss of trust in the effectiveness of the telematic protection system
- Compromise of sensitive data on aggressors' locations and movements

When technology fails, the only bracelet that remains active is the one of institutional distrust
Demand for Transparency and Technological Improvement
The victims' associations demand from the responsible institutions a more transparent management of the system and the implementation of concrete measures to prevent future incidents. They emphasize the urgent need to develop more effective contingency protocols and substantially strengthen the technological infrastructure of the Cometa System, ensuring that victims can fully trust this protection mechanism. 🔧
Specific demands raised:- Greater transparency in the management and maintenance of the system
- Implementation of more robust contingency protocols
- Technological reinforcement of the Cometa System's infrastructure
Consequences and Future Perspectives
This technical incident has highlighted the system's vulnerabilities designed to protect women at risk. The associations insist that institutional trust cannot depend exclusively on technology, but must be based on solid protocols and immediate responses to any failure. The situation demands a deep reflection on the real effectiveness of protection systems and the need to maintain operational alternatives in the event of possible technical failures. 🛡️
