You're not alone!
Here, dear Members , we should be able to tell
every woman who day after day, hour after hour,
in every part of the world suffers violence.
There are many associations, movements,
structures which tend a hand to women victims
of violence, in terms of material aid, hospitality,
legal and psychological assistance.

But it isn’t enough: this despicable phenomenon
continues to grow until reaching devastating
levels, and more in Italy than in many other
countries. It' s just in these days the call of the
UN to the Italian government: "Violence against
women remains a serious problem, to solve it is
an international obligation."

The Italian Parliament has enacted some laws,
such as stalking which also has increased the
punishments of those crimes ; a National Action
Plan against violence was also adopted , but these
tools certainly did not lead to a decrease in
crimes nor they were able to improve the
condition of women's lives

The numbers are now known dramatically:
according to a data spread by the "Telefono
Rosa" Association , are 120 the women killed in
Italy in 2012, almost one every two days, in an
escalation without end, and what is most
dismaying is that , in most cases, it is family
violence, as practiced by husbands, boyfriends
and ex partners.

What can our Association against this terrible
phenomenon? We must do a movement of public
opinion once again, with firmness and
determination! We fought for gender equality
and we are reaping the first fruits at the
legislative level ; well now is the time to demand
from our rulers of urgent action to develop a
proper policy of contrast.

We know that there is the Istanbul Convention
on preventing and combating violence against
women and domestic violence. It is a tool that has
three essential conditions: the prevention of
violence, through education and awareness in
schools on gender equality, protection of victims
and prosecution of perpetrators .

From here we start ; we will be, even in this field,
active and supportive citizens and BPW Italy
will address this topic for training especially
among young people, where the seed of respect to
women can and must take root.
