Equality Ministry Condemns Barcelona-Province Gender Killing as 2026 Toll Reaches 44 Women
Spain's Ministry of Equality issued a statement on October 30 condemning a presumed gender-violence killing in the province of Barcelona: a 38-year-old woman was killed on October 28, leaving a son and two daughters, all minors. Records show the victim had filed no previous complaints against the alleged aggressor.
The ministry said that, with the two cases confirmed that day, the number of women killed by gender violence in Spain in 2026 rises to 44, and to 1,385 since records began in 2003. The number of minors orphaned by gender violence stands at 35 in 2026 and 545 since 2013.
Equality Minister Ana Redondo García and the government delegate against gender violence, Carmen Martínez Perza, condemned the killing and reiterated their support for the victim's family.
The ministry recalled that help is available around the clock through the 016 telephone line, the email [email protected] and WhatsApp number 600 000 016, in 53 languages; in an emergency, people can call 112, 091 or 062 or alert the police through the AlertCops app.
