- The victim is a 50-year-old woman allegedly killed by her partner on June 7, 2025
- The number of women killed by gender violence is 13 in 2025 and 1,307 since 2003
The Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo García, together with the delegate of the Government, Francisco Martín Aguirre; and the deputy delegate of the Government in Madrid, Pilar Trinidad Núñez, presided this morning a minute of silence that brought together the workers of the Delegation of Government of Spain in Madrid as a sign of revulsion for the murder of a woman, allegedly due to gender violence at the hands of her partner, on June 7 in Malaga.
The victim is a 50-year-old woman and had no minor children. There were no previous complaints of gender-based violence against the alleged aggressor. With the confirmation of this case, the number of women killed by gender violence amounts to 13 in 2025 and 1,307 since 2003, when these data were first collected.
Along with the workers of the Delegation, representatives of the State Security Forces and Bodies, civil society, as well as thirty law students from the University of New Mexico, who are in Spain doing the summer campus “Madrid Summer Law Institute 2025”, have joined the condemnation gesture. After the minute of silence, the Institutional Declaration of condemnation was made by Fernando Estarán Manzano of the Delegation.
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.
The Declaration has reviewed all the communication methods available to victims, such as 016, online consultations through the email 016-online@igualdad.gob.es, the WhatsApp channel in 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.
