Since 2003, when the collection of official data began, 1,363 women have been killed for gender violence. Since 2013, 68 boys and girls have been killed for gender-based violence against their mother and 515 have been orphaned as a result of this violence.

Statements by the Delegate

José Pablo Sabrido has expressed his unease over the cases of male violence, explaining that the minutes of silence in memory of the victims and rejection of male violence are the hardest and most numerous moments since he holds the position of Government Delegate.

At the same time, he insisted that the machista murders represent the “reification of the woman, that someone considers that the woman is an object of his property, and that when the whim enters, he breaks it and kills it.” “It is unbearable because it is an attack on the dignity, freedom and being of a person”:, he has abundantly.

In addition, it has made a new appeal to the citizens to condemn these events and for the murderers to be singled out by the whole of society. “May he feel that the whole of society is reproaching him and pointing him out as a murderer,” he concluded.

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).
