Last year\u2019s 76 deaths represent one of the highest rates in the region \u2014 1.79 per 100,000 women \u2014 surpassed only by Honduras and the Dominican Republic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2023, the official number was even higher: 110 women murdered by partners or ex-partners, although independent organizations estimate the number of verified femicides that year at 85-88.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dispersion of data and the absence of a public and transparent registry hinder both prevention and punishment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, the Attorney General\u2019s Office, the Ministry of the Interior, the Supreme Court and other institutions announced the joint drawing up of a computerized administrative registry to collect data on femicides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information system is not public and access is limited only to victims\u2019 families.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Government reaffirms zero tolerance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel has declared \u201czero tolerance\u201d against gender-based violence, and although state media does not frequently report on femicides, reports and articles on this problem have appeared in recent months, EFE reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, independent groups point out that underreporting of cases continues to be a serious obstacle, fueled by the fear of reporting, insufficient police and judicial response, and the stigma faced by those who speak out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testimonies collected reflect how victims who go to police stations with evidence are returned to their homes with their attackers, often without their complaint being taken or receiving responses as inadequate as a fine for the perpetrator.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Map of scourge<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Geographically, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/efeminista.com\/cuba-feminicidios-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>scourge<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0of femicides encompasses the entire country, although the provinces of Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Matanzas accounted for the highest number of crimes prosecuted in 2024, with twelve, nine and eight cases, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rural areas were the most affected: 58% of fatal cases occurred in rural areas, where women had fewer resources to seek protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The profile of the victims is also revealing: 72% were between 25 and 59 years old, and 84% of the perpetrators were partners or ex-partners, data consistent with the known patterns of violence in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The social impact of this phenomenon is amplified by the increase in orphans: 70 minors were left without maternal protection in 2024 alone, creating intergenerational consequences that are difficult to measure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with official and unofficial data, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alas

a \u201cstate of emergency due to gender-based violence\u201d be declared on the island, and warn that the figures could be even higher due to possible unreported or unconfirmed
