A girl raped on the Milan-Varese train
But is it really possible to live at the risk of being raped on a train after returning from work?
Where were the controllers? And the railway police? What about the other passengers? In what climate of fear will we women be increasingly forced to live?
The rape appears to have been cleared through customs as a possible ordinary daily occurrence.
At this rate we can expect to be raped in a cinema, a bar, a restaurant.
And politics, what do institutions do?
They present yet another bill to strengthen controls and penalties.
But are we sure that the awareness that violence against women is a horror is rooted among those who will then have to apply these rules?
Inert lawyers meet who even struggle to convince the courts that in the case of violence carried out in the family environment, it is not a question of mere conflict between spouses but of real violent episodes, no less serious if only of a psychological nature.
If you don’t speculate a system of sanctions even with regard to all those in charge who remain inactive in protecting women even if only at risk of violence, the system will render any new legislative provision ineffective.
But must everything really remain confined to the helpless anger of women fighting for the affirmation of these rights?
We women are fed up with the usual catwalk with which exacerbations of penalties are announced and a whole arsenal of new tools that should protect us and in fact remain not implemented.
But awareness of the limitations of this system is widespread and perhaps only the anger of women can move something.
Voting abstention is a proof of how far the institutional system as a whole is from those who suffer and in this case from women.
The only hope lies in the new generations, the current one is now that, on these issues, you declare bankruptcy.
