The Government Delegation has today welcomed a minute of silence in revulsion of the male murder in the province of Murcia, where a 50-year-old woman, Martha Isabel, has been murdered and they have reiterated their heartfelt condolences to their relatives and friends.
Through this minute of silence, the institution headed by Sabrina Moh wanted to condemn male violence, offering a message of solidarity and support to the families and loved ones of the victim and calling for the unity of the whole society in the fight against the scourge of violence against women.
With this terrible murder, there are 45 women murdered in 2024 by their partners or ex-partners and 35 minor creatures that have been orphaned. In addition, 9 boys and girls have been killed by their parents or by the partners or ex-partners of their mothers to cause maximum pain to them.
Since 2003, 1,290 women have already been killed for gender-based violence. Since 2013, 62 children have been killed for gender-based violence against their mothers and 468 children have been orphaned by gender-based violence in Spain.
Moh has proceeded to read the institutional manifesto with which he has made it clear that, as a democratic society, we cannot tolerate any kind 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,” he said.
“Violence against women and girls violates their fundamental rights to life, liberty, physical and moral integrity, equality and dignity,” he added.
Despite the negationist approaches to male violence, Moh has made it clear that “we are going to persevere and we are going to continue moving towards a more just, egalitarian society free of male violence.” To this end, an appeal has been made to all institutions, administrations and the whole of society to maintain this struggle from unity and firmness.
