«Violence against women is the expression of a culture of power and subordination that must be eradicated from its roots; a culture that must be intercepted by the first, apparently small, manifestations to promptly prevent the most serious consequences».

On the eve of March 8, the Minister of Justice, Marta Cartabia, expressed her "heartfelt participation in the suffering of all the women who have suffered violence, physical and mental, and that of the families of all the victims who lost their lives due to acts of aggression and who feel burning - underlines the Minister - the need for justice».

The Guardasigilli also comments on the latest data published by the Interior Ministry on gender-based violence: in Italy, in the year of the pandemic, there was an increase in femicides, compared to a decrease in homicides, as has already been the case for several years.

In front of this "worrying picture», Marta Cartabia announces that she wants to join"to the invitation of the Minister for Equal Opportunities, Elena Bonetti, to reconstitute the governance bodies provided for by the law for the supervision of policies to prevent and combat violence against women».
