“Only one victim has been reported.”

Evil does not understand provinces, economic status, academic training, or religion. It is simply evil. One of its most common expressions, unfortunately, is the killing of women. By their partners or former partners.

She was the last victim A 45-year-old woman on Sunday night in Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid. He received several stab wounds, one of them fatally in the neck, at the hands of his partner, who later committed suicide. They left two daughters, aged 17 and 13, devastated.

Dramatic events like this have happened 41 times so far this year. In 2025, 41 women died at the hands of their husbands or ex-partners. There are 22 minors who are orphaned.

As we say, evil and unreason do not understand geographical boundaries. but Malaga is currently considered the province most affected by this scourge in Spain.

They were Six women were killed in this Andalusian province aloneThat is, approximately half of the entire autonomous community (13). In the Madrid region, which has a population almost five times that of Malaga, 4 deaths were recorded, including on Sunday.

Lina, Pilar, Zunelda, Eva, María Victoria and Concha. That’s what they called it. In addition, the latter two died last week, shocking the entire province and the country as a whole.

Since 2003, 62 women have been killed due to sexual violence In the province of Malaga, the region of Andalusia, which has the highest murder rate, with 7.6 murders per 1,000 women.

Why do so many sexual murders occur in Malaga Province? There is no clear answer, and it appears to be a result of chance rather than causation, i.e.: There is no pattern or aspect that leads one to believe that there is greater fertile ground in Malaga more murders than anywhere else in the country.

Sources specializing in sexual violence, consulted by the newspaper EL ESPAÑOL from Malaga, show their astonishment at this sad lead in the statistics of deaths due to sexual violence.

“It is very difficult to do an analysis because Killed women respond to profiles that have nothing to do with each otherBut they are of different ages and different nationalities. From a girl who lives in a car in Marbella to other women with a high socio-economic level.”

And it happens too Of the six victims, only one reported his condition It joined the comprehensive follow-up of sexual violence cases (Fusion).

One fact is true. Malaga is increasing its population significantly. It attracts many people to live and work, which increases the chances of taking risks. In reality, Two of the killed women had just arrived in the governorate.

According to the latest data issued by the Ministry of the Interior and collected in the Fusion system, as of October 31, there were cases in the province of Málaga. 5,196 active cases of sexual violence, of which 499 are at moderate risk and 36 are at high risk.

It is a smaller size than other Spanish provinces with similar or larger populations, which underscores the point made by the sources consulted: little is reported.
