Cuba closed 2023 with the highest number of annual femicides since the independent organizations YoSíTe Creo en Cuba and Alas Tensas began collecting data in 2019.
Between 2019 and 2023, feminist platforms have verified a total of 207 femicides on the island, of which 89 were committed in 2023, according to the initial underreporting of the aforementioned independent organizations.
Recently, five Cubans were sentenced to life imprisonment for femicides in 2023, according to officials of the Supreme Court and the Prosecutor's Office who attended the television program Hacemos Cuba, hosted by the regime's spokesperson Humberto López.
In 2023, the Cuban regime sentenced five murderers of women to life imprisonment, another two to 40 years in prison and more than 70% of those accused of femicides to sentences between 25 and 30 years in prison.
The Cuban regime did not include the figure of feminicide in thenew Penal Code approved in May 2022.
Cuban legislation includes the crime of “murder” and establishes “sanctions of 20 to 30 years in prison, perpetual deprivation of liberty or death for anyone who deprives a woman of her life as a result of gender violence.”
