adequate trained staff to ensure appropriate and effective control, custody and surveillance of the prison.10 14. In the context of these provisional measures, the Court considers it is appropriate to emphasize the State's duty to offer special attention to pregnant and nursing women during their detention.11 Moreover, it is the duty of the State to protect women against all forms of discrimination and violence,12 even more when they are held in custody of the State, which is why they must be separated from men13 and be supervised and checked by female officer.14 15. The standard of prima facie assessment of a case and the application of presumptions due to the need for protection have, on different occasions, led this Court to order measures.15 Despite the fact that the Court has deemed, in similar cases, it is essential to individually identify the people who are in danger of suffering an irreparable damage in order to issue provisional measures,16 in other cases, the Court has issued provisional measures in favor of people who have not been already individualized but can be determined and identified and are in danger of suffering an irreparable damage due to 10 Cf.
