The Government Delegation in Navarre condemns the new murders for gender violence recorded in recent days and already confirmed by the Ministry of Equality. One of the victims is a 55-year-old woman allegedly killed by her partner on April 24 in the province of Huelva. There were no previous complaints of gender-based violence against the alleged aggressor. The second case is that of a 35-year-old woman who was allegedly murdered by her partner last Friday, April 25, in La Rioja. There were also no previous reports of gender-based violence against the alleged aggressor.
After these new confirmed cases, the number of women killed by gender violence in 2025 in Spain amounts to 11, and there are already 1,305 since 2003, when these data began to be collected.
