Violence against women, the Senate approves the report of the Femicide Commission on the treatment of responsible men
The Senate Chamber unanimously approved, with 211 votes in favor, the resolution to the report of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Femicide which concerns the treatment pathways for male perpetrators of violence. The request, present in the text, is related to “the establishment and support of programs aimed at male perpetrators of domestic and gender-based violence” with the aim of “accompany the perpetrators on a path of changing violent behavior to achieve the purpose of protecting victims and stopping the violence, preventing new violence, escalation and relapses“.
Violence against women, the comments of the parties
“The examination of this report in the Chamber represents an important step, indeed I would say fundamental towards a change of cultural perspective on the issue of violence against women”, commented the senator of the M5S, Alessandra Maiorino, during his speech. “The Istanbul Convention – he recalled – on preventing and combating violence against women identifies four main intervention strategies, the so-called four P’s: Prevent, Protect, Pursue and Policies”.
According to Maiorino, the implementation of re-education paths are fundamental in the strategy of prevention of gender-based violence, “on the assumption that the support and human rights of victims are a priority and that such programs are established and implemented in close coordination with the services specialized in victim support “. “Actively involving men in the reflection on violence against women constitutes an essential necessity to consolidate that change of perspective of our society that we are hardly trying to achieve together”, asks Maiorino: “A change that finally leads to reduction, or hopefully the eradication of gender violence “.
“Violence against women is a widespread and structural social phenomenon with deep cultural roots. Italy records lower numbers than other European countries, but even a single woman victim of femicide is unacceptable”, said the senator of the Valeria Alessandrini Leaguea member of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into femicide who went on to highlight how “the League, to protect victims of violence, had already introduced the Red Code in 2019. A law we fought for. Attention must be paid to the victims, and as Lega we are and will always be on their side ”.
“The report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry on femicide has a pioneering approach because, finally, it foresees the need for a strategy of prevention, protection and punishment, also working on the recovery of men who have committed violence”, adds the senator of Alternativa Luisa Angrisani announcing his vote in favor of the report itself.
“We need rules – continues Angrisani – which unequivocally affirm the message that violence against women is not a women’s problem, but a men’s problem. In fact, it is necessary to go back to the causes, and it is our duty to do everything possible to stop the violence from its first manifestation, without waiting for the escalation to reach its most dramatic peak “.
“Helping men who mistreat, beat, harass, kill women is not a contradiction – concludes Senator Angrisani – It is the only solution to root out the weed of gender violence. And to get there, you have to fight for the Cam centers; support public services that deal with victims by leaving the logic of delegation to the private sector. It is also necessary to be able to count on expert operators, capable of recognizing and adequately welcoming the perpetrator of violence in first-level services. It is also essential to strengthen these nodes of the network to “hook” men, focus on violence and motivate them to start working on themselves.
