The Government delegate against Gender Violence, Victoria Rosell, has made an institutional statement after the fourth meeting of the Crisis Committee of the Ministry of Equality since its creation, after a black month of July in which the death of 7 has been confirmed. women at the hands of their partners or ex-partners. The meeting was also attended by the Acting Minister, Irene Montero, and the Secretary of State for Equality and Against Gender Violence, Ángela Rodríguez Pam. “8 cases have been analyzed although we have 7 confirmed,” Rosell began by explaining, referring to the 22-year-old Nicaraguan girl whose body was found yesterday in the Seville town of Utrera.
Without citing Vox or pointing it out as one of the reasons why these figures were produced in July, Rosell did point out that it is necessary to insist to the youth that violence against women cannot be relativized “let alone denialism”.
On the other hand, the Government delegate made reference to the historical data for the month of July, which, as EL MUNDO reported yesterday, is the month in which the most sexist murders, on average, have been committed since 2003, when records started. “The months of July are those in which the most victims of the entire historical series occur. In 2010 and 2019 there were 10 women murdered and, in 2015, 9.” In addition, three of them were young women who were not yet 30 years old. She has also explained that “summer is a particularly compromised time and in which you have to be especially attentive to the most extreme gender violence. Of these women, only 1, a 54-year-old victim murdered in Malaga, had filed a complaint” .
Rosell has also emphasized the responsibility that both the different State institutions and citizens have in the face of gender violence, and recalled that 016 attends every hour of every day in 53 languages: “All the victims teach us something , allow us to improve, and we want to give a message to society.Institutions have their duties but citizens too, demonstrating that there is no tolerance against any type of gender violence, not only the most extreme but also any lesser violence. If we are intolerant before this, women will know that we will be there when they need us. It is a systemic and social problem that is getting better in the sense that there are fewer and fewer murdered victims, more and more sexist violence comes to light. Let’s be part of it and this summer let’s remain alert”, reported the government delegate.
