The data, published in the annual TSJA report, highlights the persistence of gender violence in the region. During 2025, 8,353 complaints were recorded, equivalent to an average of 22.8 cases each day. Despite this high figure, Seville is the Andalusian province with the fewest protection orders adopted and the lowest percentage of conviction sentences.
The chapter of the Report dedicated to the Gender Violence Sections of the Seville Court of First Instance details that, of the 7,881 victims registered, the vast majority, 6,509 (82.6%), were Spanish nationals, while 1,372 (17.4%) were foreign nationals.
A concerning aspect is that 12% of these women opted for the waiver of the obligation to testify as a witness, both in police and judicial proceedings. This percentage is one of the highest in the entire autonomous community, along with that of Málaga.
“"The proportion of protection orders adopted in Seville is well below the Andalusian average."
In 2025, 881 protection orders were adopted, representing only 44% of those requested by complainants. This figure contrasts significantly with the Andalusian average of 75%, placing Seville as the province with the lowest percentage in this area. Similarly, conviction sentences against perpetrators of gender violence totaled 112, 41% of all sentences in these cases, which also places Seville at the bottom of the regional ranking, led by Granada.
The report also underscores the immense number of gender violence-related cases reaching the courts. The year 2025 began with 2,192 pending cases, and 12,445 new cases were registered. Although 11,911 were resolved, the year 2026 started with 2,814 cases still unresolved, almost 700 more than the previous year.
Given this situation, the TSJA proposes a reorganization of the judicial structure for gender violence. For the capital of Seville, it suggests that the five positions of the Gender Violence Section of the Court of First Instance extend their jurisdiction to nearby judicial districts such as Alcalá de Guadaíra, Coria, and Sanlúcar la Mayor. This measure would require an increase in the number of magistrates. In the province, it is proposed that the Section of the Dos Hermanas Court of First Instance expand its jurisdiction to Utrera and Lebrija, and the creation of new sections in Carmona (with jurisdiction over Écija, Lora, and Cazalla) and in Osuna (covering Estepa, Marchena, and Morón) is supported.
