A man with a restraining order seriously injures his ex-partner in Ibiza
The Civil Guard has arrested the assailant, who also caused injuries to the victim's mother and sister.
BarcelonaThe Civil Guard arrested a man this Sunday in Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza, as the suspected perpetrator of a gender-based violence attack. The detainee seriously injured his ex-partner, against whom he had a restraining order, as well as the victim's mother and sister, Europa Press reports. Police arrested the assailant at the scene and transported the seriously injured woman to Can Misses Hospital. She was hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) with a head injury. The mother and sister suffered various contusions and required medical attention at the same hospital, but have since been discharged. This afternoon, the victim was transferred to the Nuestra Señora del Rosario Polyclinic, according to island health authorities. The president of the Balearic Islands government, Marga Prohens, has condemned the attack and, in a message on social media, has called for zero tolerance for any form of violence against women. Since 2016, at least six women have been murdered by husbands or ex-partners throughout Spain, a figure that rises to 1,349 if official statistics are compiled since 2003. A study on gender-based violence against women highlights the invisibility of attacks within this group, as specialized resources, which focus more on younger victims, neither detect nor assist them. The normalization of violence, fear, and social and structural barriers explain the low rate of reporting. According to the same report, 45% of older women identified having suffered gender-based violence at some point in their lives, and of these, 15% were victims of former partners and another 10% of their current partner.
