Rome, November 25 (Adnkronos) – “The data on violence against women are undeniable and visible to everyone. The legislation on this issue has been amended and is still in the process of being amended. A bill on femicide was passed from the Senate a few months ago. Currently, we receive proposals that always concern the same thing, with a very complicated issue of consent, hence the verification of specific facts.” That was Forza Italia senator president Maurizio Gasparri, speaking in the Senate.
I mentioned some of the main steps: in 1994, the Ministry for Equal Opportunities was created, during the first Berlusconi government. Then in the following years there were regulations regarding parental leave, both for maternity leave and for fathers, because the greater division and legislation regarding parental responsibilities served to avoid this on women, which unfortunately happened, the greatest burden was borne by the family and children. Then we introduced a baby bonus of one thousand euros for every newborn, with the third Berlusconi government, then the crime of stalking with innovative concepts in the legal field, the ratification of the famous Istanbul convention, in 2013, the code red, in 2019, accelerated procedures for crimes of domestic violence”.
“Strengthening, with the Meloni government, code red and increasing funding for anti-violence centers, freedom of income, making women victims of structural violence, 100% exclusion from contributions to the employment of disadvantaged women, the autonomous crime of femicide.
