The Basque female pensioners' platform Oneka has warned that women and the elderly are "high-risk" factors for machista violence: "If we add the need to live in this pandemic situation, with confinements, with the reduction of relationships, etc., increases the risk of suffering different types of violence and adds to the pandemic that the violence itself brings with it, COVID-19".

In a statement, the platform has stated that the women's unit is "more necessary than ever" to denounce the "double" situation of violence. "Older women must overcome our own weaknesses in denouncing all kinds of violence, because insecurity in ourselves and shame in denouncing us adds to dependence and silence."

The platform has pledged to continue fighting so that on 25 November and the rest of the year "no aggression against women will be put on hold".
