78.6% of women murdered in gender-based violence incidents in 2025 had not filed complaint

78.6% of the women killed as a result of gender-based violence in Andalucía in 2025 had never reported their abuser. Complaints had been filed prior to the fatal incident in only three of the 14 registered cases. This summary has been compiled by the regional ministry of social inclusion, youth, families and equality.

Of all the murders in this category in the region, 35% were executed in municipalities with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants. June and November were the months with the most victims - three cases each.

Andalusian head of gender-based violence Loles López says that "we cannot normalise" this type of violence against women "because that makes us accomplices of the cowards who mistreat women because they consider them their property". She urges women, their close ones and authorities to not downplay "the warning signs".
