Feminist activists document new femicide in Cuba; total reaches 29 in 2026
Feminist organisations on the island have confirmed a new case of femicide, bringing the total number of women murdered by gender-based violence in Cuba during the present year to 29. The crime was perpetrated by the victim's partner or ex-partner, according to records maintained by women's rights collectives in the country.
The figure reflects an alarming trend of male violence that local activists have documented systematically, in the absence of updated official statistics from Cuban authorities on this type of crime.
Feminist groups continue to demand concrete measures from the State to prevent these homicides and protect women in situations of domestic violence.
