Overview
- The CGPJ’s observatory, which published its annual breakdown Tuesday, reported 204,342 complaints in 2025 and 185,188 identified victims, with 82.36% of sentences ending in conviction.
- Most cases reached the system because women filed them themselves at courts or police stations, accounting for 71.61% of complaints, while only 1.96% came from family or close contacts.
- After the October 3rd shift that moved sexual‑offence cases into Violence‑on‑Women sections, specialized courts recorded about 92% conviction rates and Vigo saw complaints jump nearly 30%, with a second judgeship planned pending CGPJ approval.
- Regional patterns diverged, with Castilla y León registering the lowest victim rate at 48.4 per 10,000 despite a 6% rise in complaints, Andalucía reaching 41,316 complaints (up 3%), Galicia up 6.6% yet holding the second‑lowest rate at 49.8, and Madrid granting only 45% of requested protection orders.
- In Mexico’s Querétaro, the state women’s office handled 1,009 cases in the first quarter of 2026 and delivered 8,135 legal and mental‑health services, signaling sustained demand for support beyond the courts.
