Ninety of every hundred women killed by an intimate partner in Puerto Rico were never known to the systems meant to protect them: Women's Prosecutor Astrid Piñeiro Vázquez reported that 90.5% of victims of intimate femicides between January 2022 and June 2026 had never filed a police complaint nor requested a protection order. ^[1] The figure sits inside a broader pattern documented by the Puerto Rico Statistics Institute's femicide tracking system. Of 263 homicides of women recorded between 2021 and August 2026, 128 - 48.7% - were classified as femicides. ^[2][3] In 93% of those cases the attacker was the victim's partner or a family member. ^[4] Her office is responding with coordination as well as counting. On November 17 it holds "En primera línea," a free educational event running from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. that aims to strengthen coordination between agencies, municipalities, community organizations, shelters, the Police and the justice system. ^[5][6][7][8] It has 300 in-person spaces, with 500 additional spaces opened and registration handled through the office's social media. ^[9][10][11] The agenda includes the most recent gender-violence statistics, a conversation on service routes, presentations on victim care from health, police coordination and the justice system, and a session on neurodivergence and domestic violence. ^{[12][13][14][15]} A community march follows on December 2 at La Guancha in Ponce, with a 9:00 a.m. call time and a 10:00 a.m. start, as part of the 16 days of activism against gender violence. ^[16][17][18] Money backs the programming: more than $3.5 million in state and federal funds have gone toward strengthening services for victims and survivors in recent months. ^[19] That includes $303,000 granted in April to prevent service interruptions. ^[20] It also includes $1 million awarded in August to 28 entities. ^[21]
