Equality convenes the crisis committee for Monday to evaluate the six sexist crimes of August

MADRID, 3 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Ministry of Equality has convened the crisis committee for this Monday, September 4, to analyze the six crimes of gender violence recorded in the month of August.

If the latest murders that took place this Sunday, one in Seville and another in Jaén, are confirmed as cases of gender violence, the number of women murdered this summer would rise to 18, one of the most tragic in sexist violence in the last 20 years. .

The figures for the months of July and August are the highest in the entire year 2023, since until now it was January, the month in which there is also a holiday period for Christmas, the month that registered the highest number of cases with a total of seven. The rest of the months of the year register lower figures, such as February and March with two deaths, April and June with four and May with five.

As reported by the Acting Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, in an interview on TVE collected by Europa Press, the committee "will analyze case by case to see how this institutional response can be improved to always arrive on time."

Montero recalled that the summer months, Christmas and other vacation periods are the darkest for sexist violence as coexistence intensifies. "These are moments of special risk and that is why we insist to all citizens, not just women, that we can all do something for a victim when we believe, suspect or know for sure that she is suffering a situation of sexist violence."
