The City Council strongly condemns and shows its institutional rejection in what allegedly could be treated four new cases of sexist violence known during this past weekend in Spain, in this case in Vinaroz (Castellón) -a young woman of 20 years disappeared last month February-, Barcelona and Torrevieja.
The one from Barcelona is a young woman of 30 years, victim of trafficking with two children kidnapped in Russia;
and the woman from Torrevieja was 39 years old and of Moroccan nationality.
So far in 2019, 16 women have already been killed in Spain by their partners or ex-partners, a figure that almost doubles the seven murders of the first quarter of 2018. In January, six women were murdered, three in February and others four during March.
From the totanero Consistory emphasizes the need to work together to stop and end this social scourge so it insists on the need to raise awareness from education to avoid behavior that incites inequality between men and women.
Against gender violence we have to make a common front of "Zero Tolerance";
because not only do we have to remember the people who die murdered at the hands of their partners, but also all those who suffer every day in their homes any kind of physical or psychological violence.
