The 016 helpline receives an average of 22 calls per day in the Canary Islands. 80% of the reports are made by victims themselves. Ana Padrón, Director of the Canary Institute for Equality, states that the rise in calls indicates greater trust in institutions. It does not necessarily mean an increase in the number of crimes.
