On November 12, Teresa Peramato Martín turned 63 and has had a tax career for 35 years. And much of this was done from a place that for her is the only possible one to try to create a more democratic country: from judicial work against sexist violence.
In 2005 she was appointed deputy prosecutor for the Violence against women section at the Madrid Provincial Prosecutor’s Office; She was part of the Expert Group of the State Observatory on Violence against Women for the drafting of the First Annual Report of the State Observatory on Violence against Women, in 2007; and from 2021 until January of this same year she was a court prosecutor against violence against women. In recent months he has held the position of chief prosecutor of the Criminal Section of the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office and of delegated prosecutor for the protection and protection of victims in criminal proceedings. Today, Tuesday 25 N, International Day against Gender Violence, the new State Attorney General was proposed.
Peramato graduated in Law from the University of Salamanca, the city where she was born and where she began her tax career in 1989. “She is not inclined to settle for what is already done just because, but with what she is convinced it should be,” says one of the people with whom she has shared her work over the last twenty years.
In the communication sent this morning by the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, we read that Peramato “has the unanimous recognition of legal operators”. And he has it, say sources close to his sector, “partly because he is not someone who stays on the surface”, and “partly because he is someone who works and works, analyses, reflects and makes decisions based on this”.
The commitment of part of her career, and her life, was not only in favor of women’s rights, but also of minority groups. The current president of the Progressive Union of Prosecutors was awarded the Order of Merit of the Police (2010), the Order of Merit of the Civil Guard (2016), she was awarded the Alicia Salcedo Equality Award of the Illustrious Bar Association of Oviedo, the Beatriz Galindo Equality Award of the Illustrious Bar Association of Salamanca and on a day like today, in 2021, in Menina, the prizes awarded by the Ministry of Equality in recognition of the fight against gender violence.
