SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Aug. 9 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has chaired this Wednesday the act of rejection and “firm” condemnation for the sexist murder of a 91-year-old woman, allegedly murdered yesterday Tuesday by her 92-year-old husband, in the town of Valle de Guerra , in the municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, in Tenerife.

With this latest murder, there are already 105 confirmed femicides due to gender violence in the Canary Islands since 2003, when the official count began after the entry into force of Law 16/2003, of April 8, on Prevention and Protection. Integral of Women against Gender Violence of the Canary Islands Autonomous Community.

The president, who was accompanied by the Minister of Social Welfare, Equality, Youth, Childhood and Families, Candelaria Delgado, and other government officials, expressed his condolences to the family and friends of the victim. Likewise, he recalled the network of resources that the Government maintains in agreement with all the councils to attend, protect and inform women victims of violence, as well as the importance of always alerting about any case through the emergency telephone number 1- 1-2.

Fernando Clavijo appealed to all of society to get involved in the fight against inequality and its maximum expression, femicides: “Any person from any island or municipality can alert by calling 1-1-2 on suspicion that a woman, of her family, their environment, is suffering ill-treatment. We cannot look the other way and the abusers must know that they have the whole of society in front of us”.

Fernando Clavijo recalled that it is in the summer times, when the time spent living at home increases, the moment in which more sexist violence is recorded, since “in the privacy of the home the abusers find an ally”.

As of May 31, 2023, in the Canary Islands there are 5,161 active cases in the VIOGEN system, of which 1 is at extreme risk; 55 as high risk and 738 medium risk. Of the total active cases, 116 are women over 65 years of age.

The Minister of Social Welfare, Equality, Youth, Childhood and Families read the manifesto condemning the Government of the Canary Islands with the aim of keeping in mind the reason for the daily fight against sexist violence and that “silence will never again be the answer before a case of macho murder”.
