The workers of the Government Delegation, led by the Government’s deputy delegate, Pilar Trinidad, have observed a minute’s silence as a sign of revulsion, rejection and condemnation of the latest murders of Doreen, 78 years old, in Martos (Jaén), on March 6, and Eva, 36 years old, in Blanes (Girona), on March 3, for alleged gender violence.
On this occasion, the person in charge of the subsequent reading of the institutional declaration of condemnation was the Secretary General of the Government Delegation, Pablo Izquierdo, who recalled that there are already four women killed by gender violence in 2025 and 1298 since 2003. In addition, since 2013, 62 children have been killed for gender-based violence against their mothers, and 475 children have been orphaned by gender-based violence in Spain.
Once again, this minute of silence has been held simultaneously in all the delegations and subdelegations of Spain within the framework of the new “Protocol of condemnation and revulsion against murders due to gender violence” that aims to offer a joint institutional response to any murder caused by gender violence and vicarious violence, as well as support and solidarity with the victims, their relatives, and people close to them.
Finally, the statement reviewed all the communication methods available to victims, such as 016, online consultations through the email 016-online@igualdad.gob.es, the WhatsApp channel on the number 600 000 016 and online chat, accessible from the website violenciagenero.igualdad.gob.es, operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
