A feminicide in Holguin and another in Cienfuegos raised the sub -registration of platforms I do believe you in Cuba and tense wings.
Arequipa, Peru – the independent platforms I do believe you in Cuba and the Gender Observatory Alas Tenses (OGAT) They confirmed this weekend the feminicide of Yailín Requejo Miranda, finalized in Holguín, and Yailín Carrasco Pérez, in Cienfuegos.
With these recent crimes, the registered cases of feminicide are raised to 21 so far from 2025. In addition, the subregistros of the independent platforms realize until the date of a murder of men for gender reasons, two attempts of femicide, as well as the investigation of an alert in Santiago de Cuba, Havana and Camagüey.
“We regret two new femicides in Cuba and an attempt at femicide, with serious consequences for childhoods, one of the indirect victims of this type of violence most affected in Cuba,” says an Ogat publication on Facebook.
The Observatory confirmed that Yailín Carrasco Pérez (La China), 29 years old, was attacked by his partner on July 22 in the Pastorita neighborhood of the city of Cienfuegos. The violent events happened at least in front of one of the three girls that survive.
For his part, Yailín Requejo Miranda, 41, died under extreme violence at the hands of his partner on public roads, in the Cruce del Coco neighborhood of the city of Holguín. Days later, official sources updated that the aggressor had been captured by the police.
“During the attack, the minor daughter of the victim was also seriously injured, who due to the danger for her life is described as a femicide attempt. And her other little son witnessed the terrible attacks,” Ogat stands out.
Meanwhile, last Tuesday, the Cuba Observatory on gender equality (OCIG, state) reported that the judicial processes completed in 2024 gave an account of a total of 76 Cuban women 15 years or more killed for gender reasons. (It is not strictly about the victims of femicides that occurred in 2024 on the island, but only those involved in judicial processes completed that year and collected by the complementary statistical information subsystem of the Popular Supreme Court).
Although the official OCIG report avoided using the term “feminicide”, statistics correspond, according to its definitions, to cases of extreme gender violence that derived from intentional homicides. Of the 76 judicial murders, 55 were perpetrated by the victim’s couple or ex -partner, and 21 by other known people.
