A woman in her 60s was killed by her partner in the early hours of the morning on May 24 in the neighborhood of Luyanó, in the municipality of Havana Diez de Octubre, as reported on the social network by the Cuban feminist platform YoSíTeCreo en Cuba.
“We are sorry for the murder of Tomasa, who, as far as we could go, could have had the last name of Vargas,” the note mentioned on Facebook.
The publication also referred to another attempted murder, the details of which were not revealed to avoid “stigma and discrimination” of the victim.
“Our condolences go out to Tomasa’s family and our best wishes for a speedy recovery for the victim of the attempted murder,” the platform concluded.

According to a recent report, 20 cases of suicide have been reported this year and one attempted suicide.
The figure is quickly approaching 34 reported crimes of nature in all of 2022.
Given the significant increase in women in the village, the aforementioned feminist platform was launched at the beginning of the year as a telephone support line for men affected by gender-based violence. On phone 52652798, those who need it can have advice, legal advice and psychological help.
In February, a total of 14 civil societies issued a third call to the Cuban government to declare a state of emergency due to gender violence. In 2021 and 2022, similar erections were made even without any response from the government authorities.
In recent days, it was announced that Cuban courts have sentenced 18 men who committed feminicides in 2022, according to official information, a figure well below the 34 acts of this nature verified by independent platforms.
