Miami, United States. – In the early hours of this Monday, Alianna Laborde Díaz, mother of a child, was killed in the work center where she served in the city of Holguin. The aggression, which occurred in the Servicenter “La Loma”, located on the road to Gibara, was reported by several users and Facebook pages.
As needed A Facebook post of the medium The scissorsthe aggressor, identified as the victim’s ex -partner, finalized Laborde Díaz inside the service. The same information indicates that “he appeared in the place and got into the service of the Servicenter with a knife.” During the altercation, the head of the establishment, who came to the aid of the woman was also injured.
Various Internet users who knew the victim confirmed that the murderer died shortly after the attack. After perpetrating the crime, the aggressor fled on a motorcycle and, according to comments and photos published on Facebook, collided with the facade of a house.
An Internet user who claimed to meet the victim He said that this “maintained an intermittent relationship with the victimizer”, who, in addition, was not the father of his son.
The crime has not yet been confirmed by independent feminist platforms that fight against sexist violence on the island, such as Yosítecreo in Cuba and the magazine’s gender observatory Tense wings (Ogat).
At the end of 2024, both groups reported 55 femicides that occurred on the island throughout the year. They also denounced several attempts at feminicide, in addition to six cases pending access to police investigations and two murders of men for gender reasons.
Both the OGAT and Yosítecreo in Cuba have reiterated the urgency that the Cuban government declares an “state of emergency for gender violence.” They have also advocated the implementation of an integral law that effectively combines sexist violence. “It is imperative that concrete measures are taken to protect women and prevent more femicides,” both organizations insisted.
In the first semester of 2024, both groups verified 28 femicides, which represents a 43% decrease compared to the same period of the previous year. However, they attributed this reduction mainly to the growing difficulties to confirm information, rather than a real decrease in violence.
Feminicide is not typified as a specific crime in the Cuban Criminal Code. The terms “feminicide” or “macho crime” rarely appear in state media, which only report exceptionally about this type of violence.
Last August, the Government of Cuba reported that, in judgments made in 2023, the courts had identified a total of 110 women over 15 killed by their partners or ex -partners. A recent report by the Attorney General, Yamila Peña, reveals that 72% of the victims were between 25 and 59 years old, 84% of the aggressors were couples or ex -partners, and 31% had a criminal record for violent events.
At the end of July, the authorities approved the creation of a national system for the “registration, attention, monitoring and monitoring” of sexist violence in the country. However, feminist organizations consider that these measures are insufficient and demand more forceful actions.
“Without an official recognition of the seriousness of the problem and without laws that effectively protect women, femicides will continue to occur,” said Yosítecreo and the OGAT.
