Spanish officials to hold crisis meeting as 40th gender-based murder comes amid backlash over sexism_我的网站

A | Spanish officials have planned a crisis meeting for September 4 to address a spike in gender-based violence against women, including 40 murders since the beginning of the year — almost half of them during the recent summer months.The country's equality ministry said it would convene a crisis committee meeting to analyze the latest cases of domestic violence. It will be the fifth meeting of its kind in just over a year, as the country looks to address rising concern over violence against women.A 58-year-old woman was murdered in the eastern province of Valencia on Wednesday, bringing the number of women murdered in acts of gender based violence to 40 this year, and 1,224 since 2003, a social media post from the government's delegation against gender violence said on Friday.

Spain has tried to be proactive in addressing gender-based violence in recent years, including broadening the definition of femicide in 2021 to include the killing of women and children by men regardless of whether there was a prior relationship between victim and killer. The country passed Europe's first law specifically aimed at gender-based violence in 2004.

But as outrage continues over the behavior of Luis Rubiales, the currently-suspended president of the Spanish soccer federation who made global headlines for forcibly kissing national player Jennifer Hermoso after her team's victory in the World Cup in August, the latest killing put more pressure on the government to show it is taking action to protect Spanish women. Tens of thousands of women have taken part in street marches protesting against sexual abuse and violence in Spain in recent years, and the issue took centerstage in the country's general election in July.Prominent figures in Spain's far-right Vox party — who carried 12% of the overall vote in the July election — have denied the existence of gender-based violence and been critical of government initiatives to address the issue."Gender violence does not exist, macho violence does not exist," the head of Vox in Valencia, Jose Maria Llanos, said in July.

No one party won a significant enough majority in the election to form a government, and with political gridlock stymying efforts by the different parties to form a new unity government, an interim administration is currently running Spain. Earlier this week, acting Equality Minister Irene Montero told the Reuters news agency that Spanish society must break a "pact of silence" and she called for the public to support women who come forward about systemic sexism."Spain is a feminist society in which sexism still exists, but it is determined to end sexism," Montero said Wednesday. "We are sending the correct message to the world, that sexism is over."

据悉，最近一周俄军在哈尔科夫地区攻势非常顺利，截至17日俄国防部宣称已经“拿下200多公里土地”，其中包括十几个定居点。原本美国通过援乌法案之后，西方媒体对俄乌战场保持“乐观”，法新社甚至开始讨论乌克兰何时能反攻的问题，但一切情况骤然转变还是让西方意料不及。乌克兰总司令西尔斯基表示前线局势艰难，他们已经决定要从南部战场调来预备队，且有信心可以阻挡俄方的攻势。

17日，俄罗斯总统普京在发布会上回应称，俄军正在哈尔科夫地区发动攻势，目标是为了建立一个“安全区”，以保护俄边境地区免受乌军袭击。

B | 之前乌克兰人曾多次从哈尔科夫越境进入俄罗斯，还发起对俄偷袭行动，所以这次俄罗斯准备打出一个“隔离地带”来保护自己的安全。但有乌克兰消息人士对此并不信任，认为俄罗斯到底打到哪里是根据“实际情况”决定的；如果乌克兰人抵抗不及时，俄罗斯或许会吞并整个哈尔科夫地区。

同日，乌克兰总统泽连斯基接受媒体采访，对他们现在遭遇的困境表示不满。记者询问是否认为哈尔科夫州的失利是“美国人的问题”，他则回答：“这是全世界的错误，全世界给了普京占领我们的土地的机会，各国现在应该帮助乌克兰”。

D | 采访者认为泽连斯基非常不满于之前各国没有给他们足够的援助，因为3月份他同样将阿夫杰耶夫卡的战败归咎于“各国没有给支持”，现在来看哈尔科夫同样如此，都是因为少了援助才导致的结果。

分析人士表示，乌克兰在哈尔科夫地区失利这件事是他们在拿到美国新一批军援之后才发生的，且乌克兰在5月上旬就获得了美国支持的新武器，泽连斯基将其归咎为“没有得到全世界援助”说不通。其次是因为这次失误明显是乌军自身的部署问题，他们将大部分兵力都投放在南部战场，丝毫没有防范北部俄军的袭击，结果被打了个措手不及；再者而言，动辄拉上“全世界”来承担责任的行为太过夸张，乌克兰现在更应该将精力放在和平问题上，而不是坚持我行我素的风格。

值得一提的还有，美媒曾在上周披露乌军在哈尔科夫或涉嫌贪污军援，一名官员表示他们原本应该构筑的防线“不见了”，俄罗斯人大摇大摆地从俄乌边界进来，全程没有看到乌克兰的防御体系。

F | 所以一些人怀疑军方对于防线上有偷工减料，甚至是贪污了很多的军事援助才导致现在的境地。

G | 对此有评论称：“现在来看最着急的应该是美国，如果北约援助的乌克兰如此快地崩溃，世界各国对美国军事能力的信任就会和对瑞士中立的信任一样崩塌，美国无论做什么事付出的实际成本将会更高，所以他们最后可能真的会亲自下场。”
