115 472. Since the monument relates to more individuals that those considered victims in this case, the decision on the type of monument shall correspond to the public authorities, who must consult the opinion of civil society organizations by means of an open, public procedure in which the organizations that represented the victims in this case shall be included. 4.1.4. National day in memory of the victims 473. The Court considers that the publication of the Judgment (supra para. 469), the public acknowledgement of responsibility (supra para. 470), and the monument to be built to commemorate the victims (supra para. 472) are sufficient for the purposes of the satisfaction of the victims. Consequently, it does not find it necessary to grant the request that November 6 each year should be commemorated as the “National Day in memory of the victims of femicide,” even though a measure of this type can be discussed by the pertinent domestic bodies. 4.2. Guarantees of non-repetition 4.2.1. Regarding the request for a comprehensive, coordinated and long-term policy to ensure that cases of violence against women are prevented and investigated, those responsible prosecuted and punished, and reparation made to the victims 474. The Commission considered that the Court should order the State to adopt “an integral and coordinated policy, backed with sufficient resources, to guarantee that cases of violence against women are adequately prevented, investigated and punished, and that their victims receive reparations.” 475. The representatives requested the creation of a long-term program with the necessary resources, in liaison with the different social actors and in coordination with State institutions, with well-defined objectives, goals and indicators that permit periodic progress reports and provide the community with information on the efforts made to discover the truth about the facts. They also considered it necessary to assess the normative framework for the prevention and sanction of violence against women, as well as the policies and models for attending to victims of gender-based violence and, in particular, to the families of women victims of murder, in keeping with international standards for treatment of victims. Lastly, they asked that the State establish a permanent, cross-cutting program to eradicate gender discrimination in the public administration with constant evaluation mechanisms and indicators of difficulties and progress. 476. The State alleged that it “had implemented a comprehensive and coordinated policy, supported by adequate public resources, to ensure that the specific cases of violence against women were adequately prevented, investigated, sanctioned and redressed by whosoever was found responsible.” 477. The Tribunal observes that the State listed all the institutions, actions and legal measures undertaken from 2001 to date, at both the federal and local level to prevent and investigate the murder of women in Ciudad Juárez, as well as the support granted to the victims by the government. 478. Regarding the policies for the investigation of these crimes, the State explained how different types of prosecutors’ offices have operated, at the federal and the state level, and jointly. These investigation policies will be explained more extensively when
