The articles highlight the ongoing issue of gender-based violence and child homicides in Spain. They are newsworthy due to the release of a recent report by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) detailing the number of women killed by their partners or ex-partners in 2023. The report reveals that 49 women were victims of femicide, averaging one woman killed every 7.4 days. A significant portion of these women lived with their aggressors, and 22% had previously filed complaints.

These statistics underscore the persistent and severe nature of domestic violence and the urgent need for increased protection and preventative measures.
