The number of victims of gender-based violence in Spain has risen to 22 so far this year and to 1,316 since 2003

Benidorm condemns the sexist murder of an 86-year-old woman in the province of Asturias

Benidorm condena el asesinato machista de una mujer de 86 años en la provincia de Asturias

Benidorm City Council observed a minute of silence at noon this Monday to condemn the latest domestic violence murder confirmed in recent hours in our country, which claimed the life of an 86-year-old woman. The silent demonstration took place outside City Hall and was led by the First Deputy Mayor, Ana Pellicer, and the Councillor for Equality, Ángela Zaragozí, along with other members of the local council.

The victim is an 86-year-old woman, allegedly murdered by her 89-year-old partner last Wednesday, July 2, in the Asturian municipality of Pola de Laviana. The Ministry of Equality has confirmed that there were no prior complaints of gender-based violence against the alleged perpetrator.

With the confirmation of this case, the number of women murdered due to gender-based violence has risen to 22 so far in 2025 and to 1,316 since 2003, when this data began to be collected.

The Department of Equality reminds us that Benidorm City Council has specialised personnel available to provide free counselling to any woman who feels threatened. They also reiterate that victims of gender-based violence can access the free 016 hotline, which leaves no trace on their phone bill, although it is advisable to delete it from their cell phone call logs.

This service is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, in 53 languages, and offers a service adapted to potential disability situations.
Similarly, in an emergency, you can call 112 or the emergency numbers of the National Police (091) and the Civil Guard (062). If a call is not possible and a dangerous situation arises, the ALERTCOPS app can be used, which will send an alert signal with geolocation to the police. All of these assistance methods can be activated by the victim, as well as by anyone who knows or suspects a case of gender-based violence. It is a duty of all society.
