2013

The year 2025 in Spain is marked by contrasting trends. On one hand, the housing market shows signs of recovery, with 121,827 new free-market homes started, the highest number since 2008, reflecting an 8.5% increase from the previous year. This is occurring amidst a housing shortage and growing demand. However, this positive development is overshadowed by the persistent issue of gender violence. In 2025, a woman was murdered every 7.4 days by her partner or ex-partner, totaling 49 femicides for the year. A significant portion of these victims lived with their aggressors, and 22% had previously filed complaints. Furthermore, since 2013, 65 children have been murdered by their parents, highlighting the devastating impact of domestic violence, with three children killed in 2025 alone to inflict pain on their mothers. These statistics underscore the urgent need for increased protection and intervention measures to combat gender-based violence and safeguard vulnerable populations.
