Toledo.- The delegate of the Government of Spain in Castilla-La Mancha, José Pablo Sabrido, has condemned the male murder of Alejandra Maryvin, 43 years old, at the hands of her ex-partner, 50, in Seseña, Toledo, on the morning of April 23.

Sabrido has condemned the facts, conveyed his condolences to the victims and thanked the State Security Forces for their work. In that sense, he explained that, although this is the first case of murder due to male violence in Castilla-La Mancha so far this year, “the transcendent thing is that she is a new woman, and there are too many of them, a single one already is”.

The delegate has shown his deepest rejection, in a situation that fills him “with consternation and sadness.” In addition, he has asked for unity of message from the whole society, “in the face of this scourge”, which has already claimed the lives of 17 women so far in 2026.

Since 2003, when the collection of official data began, 1,358 women have already been murdered due to gender violence. Since 2013, 68 boys and girls have been killed for gender-based violence against their mother and 521 have been orphaned as a result of this violence.

Institutional declaration

In application of the protocol approved by the Ministry of Equality and the Ministry of Territorial Policy when a machista murder occurs, an institutional statement has been disseminated in which it is stressed that, as a democratic society, “we cannot tolerate any type of violence against women because they are women”.

Male violence “is a structural violence, based on sexist discrimination, inequality and imbalance in power relations between women and men. Violence against women and girls violates their fundamental rights to life, liberty, physical and moral integrity, equality and dignity.”

Likewise, the commitment of the institutions is reaffirmed in the face of the negationist approaches of male violence and an appeal is made to all administrations and society as a whole to maintain this struggle from unity and firmness, moving towards a more just, egalitarian and violence-free society against women.

Resources of Assistance

The Ministry of Equality, through the Government Delegation against Gender Violence, recalls that telephone 016, online consultations through email 016-online@igualdad.gob.es, the WhatsApp channel on the number 600 000 016 and the online chat available on the web violenciagenero.igualdad.gob.es, operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

The 016 provides advice on available remedies and the rights of victims of all forms of violence against women, as well as legal advice from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., every day of the week, with care in 53 languages and a service adapted to possible situations of disability.

In case of emergency, you can call 112 or the telephone numbers of the National Police (091) and the Civil Guard (062). If it is not possible to make a call, in a situation of danger the ALERTCOPS application can be used, which sends an alert signal with geolocation to the State Security Forces and Bodies.

These means can be activated by the victim and also by anyone who knows or suspects of a case of gender violence, since the eradication of this violence is a collective responsibility.
