- The number of women killed by gender violence is 23 in 2025 and 1,317 since 2003
The workers of the Delegation of the Government of Spain in the Community of Madrid, headed by the delegate of the Government, Francisco Martín Aguirre and the subdelegate of the Government in Madrid, Pilar Trinidad Núñez, have observed a minute of silence in sign of condemnation for the murder of a woman for alleged gender violence in Navarre.
The 78-year-old victim was allegedly killed by her partner on 29 July 2025 and there were no prior complaints of gender-based violence against the aggressor. With the confirmation of this case, the number of women killed by gender violence amounts to 23 in 2025 and 1,317 since 2003, when these data were first collected.
Once again, this minute of silence has been celebrated in all the delegations and sub-delegations of Spain within the framework of the “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 Government Delegation recalls that the telephone number 016, online consultations through the email 016-online@igualdad.gob.es, the WhatsApp channel on the number 600 000 016 and the online chat, accessible from the website violenciagenero.igualdad.gob.es, operate 24 hours a day, every day of the week. At 016 you can ask for advice on the resources available
and the rights of victims of all forms of violence against women, as well as legal advice from 8 am to 10 pm every day of the week, with care in 53 languages and a service adapted to possible situations of disability.
In addition, in an emergency situation you can call 112 or the emergency telephones of the National Police (091) and the Civil Guard (062). In case it is not possible to make a call and in a situation of danger, you can use the ALERTCOPS application, from which an alert signal will be sent to the police with geolocation.
These means of assistance can be activated by the victim and also by anyone who knows or suspects a case of gender violence.
