Spain Registers 104,666 Active Gender‑Based Violence Cases in VioGén

Many files flag children or lethal‑risk indicators that shape police monitoring and local protection resources.

Overview

  • The Interior Ministry released an administrative snapshot updated to July 31, 2026 that lists 104,666 active cases in the VioGén system, according to reports published on August 6.
  • Risk classifications in the dataset include 1,165 cases at high risk, 14 at extreme risk, and 13,464 labeled as 'especial relevancia' where indicators raise the chance of very severe or lethal violence.
  • More than half of active files — 53,818 — involve victims with children, and 1,664 minors are recorded as being at risk, including 149 at high risk and 3 at extreme risk.
  • The data break down victims by age and region, showing the largest concentration in Andalucía with 27,885 active cases and 5,776 in Castilla‑La Mancha.
  • VioGén is an operational registry used to coordinate police follow‑up and protection measures, and the ministry’s snapshot should be read as a current caseload picture rather than a measure of trends over time.
