Aumentan un 32 % los menores reconocidos como víctimas de la violencia de género en 2023

The 2023 statistics reveal a worrying increase in gender-based violence, characterized by significant rises in the number of victims, particularly women, and their child witnesses. This upward trend underscores an escalating crisis that demands urgent attention, as the prevalence of these crimes continues to grow year after year. The data highlight the severity of the issue, showing that gender-based violence far exceeds general domestic violence in scale, with female victims outnumbering victims of general domestic violence by a wide margin. Crucially, the impact extends beyond the immediate victims to children, who are increasingly registered as indirect victims of this violence. The substantial increase in minors affected illustrates the intergenerational trauma and the pervasive nature of abuse within the family unit. This highlights a critical social implication: protection measures must not only address adult victims but also consider the well-being and long-term stability of children exposed to such hostile environments. This article is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how official statistical agencies, such as the INE, compile, analyze, and publish granular datasets on social harms. By making this information publicly accessible, it enables researchers, policymakers, and civil society to monitor trends, evaluate the effectiveness of legal measures, and advocate for evidence-based interventions. Transparent access to such detailed records is essential for accountability and for driving informed public debate on combating violence.
