23% decrease in cases of male violence attended by the Local Police of Ibiza in 2025

The Local Police of Ibiza has attended between January and November 2025 to a total of 93 women complainants or victims of gender violence, according to the balance made public on the occasion of 25N, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The figure represents a reduction of 23% compared to the same period last year, when 121 cases were recorded.

Most of the interventions were related to physical aggressions, injuries or situations of coercion that occurred at the time of the events. The alerts came from the 112 telephone number, from witnesses, from the victims themselves or from other law enforcement agencies. In 2023, the number of cases attended between January and November was 119, confirming a downward trend over the last three years.

As of November 21, the VioGen Unit of the Local Police maintains 38 active cases: 34 low risk and 4 medium risk. The Councilor for Equality recalled that the recent Instruction 1/2025 of the Secretary of State has redefined the levels of risk -low, medium, high and extreme-, which means that the cases previously classified as “not appreciated” are now integrated into the low level. Comparatively, in 2024 there were 34 active cases and in 2023 there were 27.

The Councilor for Equality of the City Council of Eivissa, Sara Barbado, stressed that the fight against this violence “requires a coordinated, immediate and firm response”. In this sense, she has stressed the role of the VioGén Unit and the need to continue strengthening the mechanisms of care, protection and monitoring of victims. “Despite the decrease in the number of alerts, we cannot lower our guard. Each case reflects a painful reality that needs support, protection and institutions that respond responsibly,” said Barbado.

The City Council has reiterated its commitment to public policies that allow progress towards a safer municipality and with an institutional environment that accompanies women who denounce. On the occasion of 25N, the consistory has once again insisted on the importance of maintaining a solid network of detection, support and prevention.
