Spain leads action on violence against women despite 'macho' image

Spain is sometimes portrayed as a macho society, but that stereotype oversimplifies reality. A closer look shows that gender equality and women's rights are given significant attention, often more so than in many other countries.

For some visitors, perceptions of Spain can quickly slip into familiar stereotypes.

News reports regularly detail cases of women killed by partners or ex-partners, with extensive coverage of trials, funerals and protests by grieving families and entire communities.

To an outside observer, it can reinforce a familiar stereotype: a deeply "macho" society where women are at risk.

Yet that impression is misleading.

According to Spain's Ministry for Equality, 48 women were killed by partners or former partners last year - the lowest figure since records began in 2003.

By comparison, in Germany, where such cases have only recently been systematically recorded, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) reported 132 victims of fatal domestic violence against women in 2024.

The contrast highlights a deeper reality: while the issue is highly visible in Spain, it is also confronted more openly than in many other European countries.

Years of reporting, public protests and political debate reflect not a failure, but the central importance of gender violence in Spanish society.

Spain is widely seen as a European pioneer in tackling violence against women.

A "revolutionary law"

Spain passed its law against gender-based violence more than 20 years ago, in 2004. The legislation established a comprehensive framework that includes a state observatory and specialized institutions.

Equality Minister Ana Redondo has described the law as "revolutionary, groundbreaking and an international benchmark."

One of its defining features is the creation of specialized judicial structures - something still largely absent in some other European countries.

Most Spanish courts have dedicated chambers with specially trained judges, while training programmes extend to police officers, teachers, lawyers and social workers.

Around 60 crisis centres operate nationwide, offering round-the-clock support alongside helplines in more than 50 languages.

Police and judicial responses follow strict protocols. Authorities are required to act at the first sign of suspected abuse, even without a formal complaint.

Courts can issue protection orders within hours, including round-the-clock police protection.

Technology and strict enforcement

Digital coordination is central to Spain’s approach. Security agencies rely on the VioGén system, which enables rapid data sharing and risk assessment.

Electronic monitoring devices for offenders - used for more than 15 years - help enforce restraining orders in high-risk cases.

At the start of 2024, more than 4,000 such systems were active nationwide.

Spain also applies comparatively tough criminal penalties: abuse by a partner or former partner can carry a prison sentence of at least two years.

Minister Redondo says these measures have helped shift Spain "from a macho-dominated society towards a culture of equality" and moved violence against women "from the private sphere into public consciousness."

A society engaged

Today, domestic violence is widely debated in Spain - in classrooms, on television and in popular culture. Public scrutiny of institutions remains intense.

Germany’s ambassador to Spain, Maria Margarete Gosse, has praised this level of engagement.

"What is particularly impressive is the intensity with which this society addresses violence against women," she told the Mallorca Zeitung newspaper, adding that Germany could "learn a great deal" from Spain’s approach.

Tackling a new threat: digital violence

Spain is now also positioning itself at the forefront of efforts to combat digital sexualized violence.

While many countries are still debating legislation, the Spanish government has already drafted a law aimed at regulating AI-generated deepfakes.

The proposed rules would make it illegal to use a person’s image or voice without consent. For minors under 16, consent would not be recognized at all. Violations could result in prison sentences of up to two years.

The initiative follows high-profile cases such as a 2023 scandal in Almendralejo, in south-western Spain, where teenagers created and shared AI-generated nude images of classmates aged 13 and 14.

The case sparked nationwide outrage and highlighted the risks posed by rapidly evolving technologies. According to Save the Children, around one in five young people in Spain – mostly girls – have already been affected by such abuse.

Authorities are also beginning to enforce existing laws. In autumn 2025, Spain’s data protection agency became the first in Europe to fine an individual for publishing an AI-generated nude image.

At the same time, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government has called for investigations into major tech platforms including X, Meta and TikTok over potential offences linked to AI-driven sexualized violence involving minors.

A wider European shift

Spain is not alone in moving quickly. Countries such as Denmark and France have already criminalized the creation of non-consensual deepfake pornography involving real individuals, with penalties including fines and prison sentences.

But Spain’s approach stands out for its breadth – combining legal reform, public awareness and technological tools.

For visitors, the constant media coverage may create a distorted picture. In reality, it reflects a society that has chosen to confront the issue head-on.

Pakistan ‘honour’ killings rise to at least 470 in 2025, report says
05.05.2026
At least 470 women were killed in Pakistan in 2025 by close relatives in so-called “honour” crimes, a new report said, highlighting what it described as an “endemic problem” in a society facing rising gender-based violence.
The figure compares with 405 cases a year earlier, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) said on Tuesday, marking an increase despite tougher laws aimed at curbing the crime, which often sparks national and, at times, international outcry.
More than a third of the victims were from the central province of Punjab, Pakistan’s agricultural heartland, where conservative social structures are often shaped by tribal and religious ties.
The HRCP report also recorded 1,332 murders linked to domestic violence against women last year.
“It’s an endemic problem in Pakistan. And the most worrying part is that the trend is rising,” said Farzana Bari, one of the country’s leading women’s rights activists.
Fathers, brothers and sons are the perpetrators in most cases, often citing the preservation of so-called family honour, said Rizwan Khan, a lawyer based in the capital, Islamabad.
In many cases, perpetrators escape punishment due to a controversial Islamic legal provision that allows a victim’s family to pardon the offender, rights group Amnesty International said.
Pakistan introduced a law in 2016 aimed at partially closing this loophole, but it has proven insufficient to end the practice, according to the HRCP.
“These are preventable murders, if state and the society pay some heeds to the underlying mentality behind them,” said Sara Malkani, a human rights lawyer in Karachi.

Sexual violence and rape offences are rising in the EU, new data shows

By Inês Trindade Pereira

Published on 05/05/2026 - EURONEWS

Reports of rape and sexual violence surge in the EU as the bloc pushes for a consent-based definition of rape.

Police recorded more than 256,000 sexual violence offences in the EU in 2024, of which 38% were rape offences, according to the latest Eurostat figures.

Compared with 2023, sexual violence offences increased by 5% and rape by 7%.

In 2024, France, Germany and Sweden recorded the highest numbers of reported sexual violence and rape offences, while Cyprus, Malta and Lithuania recorded the lowest.

Nevertheless, an increase in police-recorded sexual violence offences can indicate greater awareness and improved measures to combat sexual abuse, which can affect reporting rates.

The figures came out just after the European Parliament voted to back a common consent-based definition of rape, known as "only yes means yes".

MEPs said that consent must be assessed in context, including in cases involving violence, abuse of power, intimidation, or vulnerability.

They also demanded adequate support and protection for victims and survivors across the EU.

Prior to this, the EU adopted minimum standards to combat violence against women for the first time in 2024.

However, a proposed article in the standards to create a common definition of rape was dropped after opposition from several member states.

"We have been calling for a common European definition of rape for years", Evin Incir, a Swedish MEP belonging to the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, said in a European Parliament press release.

"More and more governments are recognising the need for this approach — since 2023, France, Finland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have introduced consent-based laws," she said. "Momentum is with us."

While the push for an EU-wide consent-based definition of rape shows that the bloc is serious about tackling the crime, data shows an upward trend in both rape and sexual violence over the past decade

Between 2014 and 2024, sexual violence offences jumped by 94% and rape offences by 150%.

During this period, sexual violence offences increased continuously by nearly 10% annually on average, and rape offences by 7%.

However, this could again be attributed in part to greater reporting rates stemming from heightened awareness and better reporting channels.

Latvia to quit anti-violence against women treaty?

European countries have different legal terminology and national legislation on rape, even though most of them follow a similar framework under the Council of Europe's Istanbul Convention.

The convention aims to prevent and combat violence against women and domestic violence, signed by all EU member states and other European countries, such as the UK and Norway.

In October last year, the Latvian parliament voted to quit the treaty following complaints by right-wing politicians that it promotes "radical feminism based on the ideology of gender" and threatens traditional family values.

However, President Edgars Rinkēvičs used his suspensive veto power to send it back to parliament for reconsideration, arguing that such a change in international commitments shouldn't be decided so hastily.

Latvia is due to look at the issue again in November, following the country's parliamentary elections in the autumn.

However, Riga is still committed to maintaining protections for women and victims of domestic violence, even if it does withdraw from the convention. Its parliament adopted a declaration asking the government to come up with a comprehensive national law to combat domestic violence, intended as an "alternative" to the convention.

As an EU member, Latvia is also bound by EU directives combating violence against women. They transpose many of the Istanbul Convention's protections into EU law, which Latvia must implement by June 2027, regardless of whether it sticks with the Council of Europe treaty.

At the same time, France ratified an amendment to add consent to the legal definition of sexual assault and rape in October 2025, following the conclusion of the Gisèle Pelicot rape trial the year before.

The case saw 51 men found guilty of sexually assaulting or raping Pelicot while she was unconscious, after being drugged by her husband, Dominique, over the course of a decade.

Previously, rape or sexual abuse had been defined as "any form of sexual penetration committed with the use of violence, coercion, threat or surprise".

What does economic abuse actually look like?

We speak to an expert about the signs to spot in your relationship, and those of loved ones.

By Ella Walker, PA

Money can be a tricky conversation for any couple, but where economic abuse is at play, it can even be life-threatening.

According to the charity Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA), one in six women in the UK has experienced economic abuse by a current or former partner, and in 95% of cases of domestic abuse, it’s involved.

While the UK figures are stark, they reflect a global crisis. In Canada, Women’s Shelters Canada report mirrors the 95% correlation found in the UK, while US data suggests the intersection may be even higher.

“Economic abuse is when a partner or ex-partner controls your money, but also your economic resources, so that can be your housing, whether you can access transport, a mobile phone, all the way down to basic essentials like food and clothing,” explains Sara D’Arcy, head of external affairs at SEA. Economic abuse has been criminalised under the coercive controlling behaviour offence, so can be prosecuted.

“Abusers are using this tactic every day of the year,” says D’Arcy. “It is all about taking control and creating financial instability that eventually makes you feel trapped and like you can’t take steps to leave.”

She notes “there’s definite tactics deployed at certain times of the year” – the May half-term holiday and summer holidays included. “Abusers use child maintenance to control and cause harm at particular times of year, because they know it is going to have an emotional and financial impact,” she explains. “It’s going to mean the survivor can’t take the kids to the seaside for half-term, or they’re not going to be able to afford to buy a birthday cake.”

The cost of living crisis is used as another “excuse” for abusers “to control their partner and how they spend money or access resources”. Women’s Aid found 75% of survivors living with an abuser said it had prevented them from leaving or made it harder to do so.

Meanwhile, one in eight women with a joint mortgage is experiencing joint mortgage economic abuse. “This can include the abuser refusing to pay their agreed share of the mortgage, refusing to consent to a better interest rate, and also preventing them from accessing mortgage support,” says D’Arcy. “With interest rates now rising again, we’re expecting to see survivors struggle even more with meeting their joint mortgage costs, which is why we want the government to deliver a change in the law to help survivors separate a joint mortgage from an abuser.”

Long-term impact

Economic abuse is incredibly insidious. “Economic abuse makes it harder for survivors to flee to safety because they might have lost their home, be destitute, not be able to afford new locks, or a train to safety or a new roof over their head, and that creates a really unsafe situation. We also know that financial loss causes the perpetrator to escalate other forms of violence.”

It often doesn’t end if a survivor has left either, “because unlike other forms of domestic abuse, it doesn’t necessitate being physically close to someone.”

Signs to spot

We asked D’Arcy to outline some of the key red flags of economic abuse to watch out for.

In your own relationship…

“Especially at the start of a relationship, abusers will use emotional abuse and manipulation to start to take control. e.g. ‘I’ll take care of all the bills and look after the joint accounts, you don’t have to worry about money’.”

“An abuser might try to force the survivor to take out a loan or say things like, ‘If you really loved me, you’d lend me this money’.”

“[They] may discourage you from going for a promotion because they want you to spend time with them.”

“It could be saying, ‘I don’t like it when you wear that type of clothing, you should wear this type of clothing instead’.”

“They may refuse to contribute to shared household bills.”

“It’s about exploiting your economic resources too, so you’re having to buy new things because they’re smashing your phone all the time, for instance.”

“You notice changes to your behaviour. You’re scared to say no to your partner, you can’t have open conversations about money, you start to feel anxious about doing things you normally would have done, and find yourself being isolated.”

“Later down the line, you may realise you don’t have access to the bank account your wages are paid into. Bills are turning up at the door, and while you thought your partner was taking care of it all, you’re suddenly in lots of debt.”

Signs in a loved one’s relationship…

“The survivor might not be saying, ‘I’m a victim of domestic abuse’. It’s often subtle signs, like changes in their behaviour.”

“They might be not taking part in regular things, like going out for lunch with you.”

“They might be more worried about money and really keeping tabs on what they’re spending, or saying, ‘My partner doesn’t want me to spend money on that, so I can’t do that’.”

“You might notice them not taking care of themselves, for example, if they’re worried about getting their nails done if they’d done that previously.”

“Look out for loved ones becoming isolated.”

Seeking help

Worried about a loved one? “It’s really important to not judge. Express concern, ask them open questions and allow them to share what they feel comfortable with,” advises D'Arcy.

“Let them know you are there whatever it is they’re going through, they’re not alone, and really be there to support them when they’re ready to reach out for help," she says.

“It’s about creating space and for them to take action in their own time,” she continues. “They’ll be thinking, ‘What is safe for me right now?’ and be having to manage their safety.”

EU Commission takes on poverty, homelessness

The European Commission aims to better tackle poverty, homelessness and social exclusion in the European Union as the bloc struggles to overcome the economic fallout of a series of global crises.

"Europe has always been defined not only by its economic strength, but also by its social model and solidarity," said EU commissioner for social rights, Roxana Mînzatu, on Wednesday.

"In the years ahead these values will be tested, and our response will shape not only our economies, but also the trust citizens place in Europe," she said.

The EU's economy has been heavily impacted by the consequences of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2019 and Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

According to EU figures, one in five European adults and one in four children are affected by poverty. One million people are homeless, and many more are struggling with soaring housing prices.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is causing concern in the EU about a renewed rapid rise in inflation.

The commission plans to work more closely with national and local governments as well as businesses and civil society organizations to provide more people with quality jobs as a first step out of poverty, a press release said.

The EU's executive branch also aims to support children affected by poverty with better access to early childhood education, health care and school meals.

On improving access to housing, the commission sent a list of recommendations to EU countries focused on tackling homelessness and promoting social and affordable housing.

Death toll in China fireworks factory blast rises to 37

08.05.2026, DPA

The death toll from an explosion at a fireworks factory in central China earlier this week has risen to 37, while one person remains missing, state broadcaster CCTV reported on Friday.

A further 51 people were being treated in hospital, including five with serious injuries, according to the report.

The blast occurred on Monday in the city of Liuyang in Hunan province, an area known as China's fireworks manufacturing hub.

Authorities said search operations at the site had largely been completed, with more than 1,500 emergency personnel deployed.

Police have summoned eight people over suspected negligence linked to the accident, CCTV reported. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation.

China produces much of the world's traded fireworks, but the industry has long been plagued by deadly industrial accidents. In June 2025, nine people were killed in an explosion at another fireworks factory in Hunan province.

Nepal issues record number of climbing permits for Mount Everest

Nepal has issued a record number of permits for the ascent of Mount Everest this spring, officials said on Friday, raising fears of heavy traffic on the world's highest mountain.

As of May 8, Nepal has issued 492 permits for Everest alone, bringing in more than $7.1 million in revenue, according to Department of Tourism (DoT) data. The previous record had been set in 2023, when 478 permits to summit Everest were issued. Last year Nepalese authorities issued 468 permits.

Overall, 1,134 mountaineering permits were issued for 30 peaks for the coming season, bringing in record revenue of over $8.3 million.

"Despite the Gen Z protests and the Israel-Iran war, a record number of climbers number have taken permits this season. This is truly historic," DoT spokesperson Himal Gautam told dpa.

In September, the Himalayan country was rocked by serious unrest after a ban on social media platforms drove tens of thousands of mostly young protesters onto the streets, denouncing widespread corruption and nepotism. At least 76 people were killed in the so-called Gen Z protests.

According to reports in Nepali media, a reason for the record number of permits issued is that China has closed the ascent to Everest from the Tibetan side of the mountain. Official figures in Nepal show that the largest number of applications this year are from China, followed by the US and India.

The increase in climbers is expected to boost Nepal’s economy, but some fear traffic jams on Everest due to delayed summit preparations.

In the past, congestion at the summit has left climbers stranded for hours in the so-called death zone with low oxygen concentration, contributing to deaths that some climbers and experts say were avoidable.

Compared to previous years, this spring the first summit has been delayed nearly two weeks due to unstable ice conditions, bad weather, logistical hurdles and a dispute over the use of drones.

Gautam, however, said that the season was going as scheduled.

The Everest climbing season typically sees summit attempts concentrated within a few days or weeks in May when weather conditions are most stable. After May, warming temperatures accelerate melting of the Khumbu Glacier, forcing expeditions to wrap up.

Study finds that malaria vaccinations reduced child mortality by 13%

A malaria vaccination programme in three African countries has reduced the mortality rate among young children by 13%, according to an analysis published on Friday.

However, vaccination coverage for the first three doses was only between 71-83% of all eligible children, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

"Our results highlight the urgent need to accelerate the deployment of malaria vaccines in areas where malaria continues to be a leading cause of child mortality," write the study authors.

Furthermore, the effectiveness could potentially be increased if the fourth dose were administered more frequently at around two years of age. According to data presented in the medical journal The Lancet, vaccination coverage for this dose was just under 40%.

The actual incidence of malaria-related mortality is difficult to measure directly, according to the research team, led by Victor Mwapasa of the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences in Blantyre (Malawi) and Kwaku Poku Asante of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in London.

The study region comprised 66 areas in Ghana, 46 areas in Kenya and 46 areas in Malawi, making a total of 158 individual areas.

These areas were randomly assigned to the study group, in which the malaria vaccine RTS,S/AS01E was part of the standard vaccination programme for young children, and a control group, in which this was not the case.

The malaria vaccinations were administered – with the consent of parents – to children in Ghana and Kenya at 6, 7, 9 and 24 months of age, and to children in Malawi at 5, 6, 7 and 22 months of age.

Mosquitoes carry even more viruses than previously thought

Mosquitoes, already feared for spreading deadly diseases such as malaria and dengue, are now found to also harbour viruses beyond the pathogens that these insects have long been notorious vectors for.

After examining the immune system of Aedes aegypti, an increasingly common mosquito now found on all continents, researchers at Boston University's Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine found "many more insect viruses" inside the so-called yellow fever mosquito.

The creature in question has a near "global reach," according to the team, and transmits not only yellow fever - the severe form of which kills one in two people affected - but also dengue, Zika and chikungunya.

But while the detection of viruses that had previously gone unnoticed is surely concerning, the Boston University team believes the discovery can be made work in our favour.

"We now want to develop these entities as tools to treat non-infected mosquitoes, perhaps inoculate mosquitoes to be more resistant against the pathogenic arboviruses that cause human diseases," said Nelson Lau, whose team’s paper was published in the journal Nature.

The researchers said they "someday" hope that the mosquitoes’ immune systems can be deployed "to battle some of the most pervasive and antagonistic human viruses."

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has warned of a resurgence of mosquito-borne diseases in southern Europe - evoking a return to the status quo ante when ancient Rome was plagued with malaria.

Ecologists: Germany has used up its natural resources for 2026

Germany will by Sunday have already used up the natural resources that should theoretically have lasted the country for the whole year, according to ecological researchers of the Global Footprint Network.

Assessing purely in mathematical terms, the organization annually calculates Earth Overshoot Day for individual countries as well as for the entire planet.

If everyone on Earth consumed as many natural resources and emitted as much CO2 as in Germany, the Earth's annual biocapacity would be exhausted within the first third of the year, the researchers said.

Germany consumes far too many resources, primarily through its high use of fossil fuels, according to the German Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND).

The main culprits are energy-intensive industrial sectors, the building sector, road transport and industrial livestock farming. The consequences of this trend have long been felt through droughts, heavy rainfall or increasing heat in cities, BUND said.

“Our current lifestyle and economic model are not sustainable,” said BUND boss Olaf Bandt. “Instead of switching to renewables, we continue to rely on coal, oil and gas.”

By contrast, electricity from solar and wind power, heat pumps and lightweight, compact and economical electric cars would create independence, planning security and climate protection, Bandt noted.

In 2025, Germany’s Earth Overshoot Day fell on May 3, a week earlier than was calculated this year.

However, rather than signifying a less environmentally friendly lifestyle in the past 12 months, this was mainly due to updated data and changes in calculation methods, said the organization.

Earth Overshoot Day 2026, representing the date humanity's demand for ecological resources exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year, is expected to fall in late July, as in 2025.

The official global date will be announced by the Global Footprint Network on World Environment Day, which is annually marked on June 5.

Haribo sees record sales as shoppers shift from chocolate to gummies

German gummy bear maker Haribo said it achieved a record sales volume last year, driven in part by new product launches and shifting consumer preferences.

“Our worldwide sales increased by 4.5%,” Herwig Vennekens, chief commercial officer of the Haribo Group, told the German business daily Handelsblatt in interview published on Monday.

The confectionary company, headquartered in the western town of Grafschaft, said new products accounted for about a quarter of that growth.

“By 2025, we succeeded in further expanding our market share and attracting new customers across all age groups — particularly among 20- to 39-year-olds,” a company spokesman said in a follow-up statement.

Recent sour-flavoured launches, including Haribo Pico-Balla Sauer and the worm-shaped Haribo Super Wummis, contributed to the gains, he said.

Vennekens said gummies are increasingly replacing chocolate in seasonal purchases such as Christmas and Easter.

"Fruit gummies are increasingly finding their way into Christmas stockings and Easter baskets instead of chocolate," Vennekens told the Handelsblatt, pointing to a shift in consumer behaviour as chocolate has become significantly more expensive due to high cocoa prices.

Haribo products are sold in nearly 200 countries worldwide, according to the company. They are produced at 16 sites across 11 countries, and the company employs around 8,500 people.

New details on freeing of whale stranded off Germany coast

10.05.2026, DPA

New information emerged on Sunday about the operation to tow a humpback whale from Germany’s Baltic coast a week ago.

Hamburg law firm Cronemeyer Haisch said in a statement it was representing the company behind the barge used in the operation, the Robin Hood.

A private initiative had organized the rescue of the whale on the Baltic coast and its transport in a water-filled cargo vessel towards the North Sea.

The release was initiated on Friday, May 1, the law firm said, "on the instructions of the private initiative."

The statement said that the whale had bumped against the barge during transport, and had "sustained scratches".

The barrier net had been removed, leaving the barge open to the sea, but a first attempt to release the whale was unsuccessful and was abandoned at nightfall.

A second attempt took place the following day, which succeeded.

"It took another breath, then swam past the ships half-submerged and then dived away," the statement said, adding that the shipping company and the crew had done everything possible to ensure that the whale was released unharmed and as quickly as possible.

The release took place around 70 kilometres off Skagen in northern Denmark. Animal welfare organizations had all assessed the mammal’s long-term chances of survival as very low.

The German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania recently expressed dissatisfaction at the lack of information regarding the whale’s location and condition.

It was reportedly agreed with the initiative that a GPS transmitter would be attached to the whale and that tracking data would be transmitted. This has apparently not yet been complied with.
