Hannover, red shoes in front of Parliament against Turkey’s withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention (2021)
Violence women, the day of November 25 and the package of measures under discussion by the government: "We need a focus on education, prevention, and protection"
In International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, institutionalized by the United Nations on December 17, 1999, after having pulled out of the shoe cabinet as every year Zapatos rojos, we wonder if the package of measures for the women the five ministers are discussing she will be able to change the state of affairs. Affaritaliani.it he talked to the lawyer about it Gian Ettore Gassani, matrimonial expert expert in intra-family crimes (DO YOU LOVE).
An explosion of cases of violence and femicide in the last period. It seems that the government wants to intervene with more stringent measures. Where is the main problem?
"The government must no longer use women's blood for electoral reasons, it must no longer make mistakes. From 1946 to today, 100 laws have been passed in favor of women but none of them have helped because none of these have been accompanied by serious funding. The pandemic and the lockdowns have certainly had a detonating effect, but the point is that the red code was a failure. It was a zero-cost law, which did not help the refuges, it did not strengthen the judiciary, it did not specialize the police, it did not help the social services. It was like wanting to have a civil war with slingshots. A failure of the system ".
The package of measures includes interventions in the criminal and procedural code, an increase in the penalty for the crimes of beatings and injuries. What do you think of it?
"Even Cartabia, which is a great professional, probably hasn't had anything to do with reality. You don't need to put your hand to the penal code to solve a cultural problem. The penal code intervenes later, we must intervene first. We have to change school education, the programs to be offered to the mass media. Enough with Snow White and Cinderella, we need to change the way of living the man-woman relationship. The murderer who wants to make the massacre does not care an extra year of sentence if he decides to end it for himself too. We are the only country that has had the honor killing until 81. This has been repealed by the penal code but not by the culture of many men ".
With regard to protection, there is talk of the institution of a sort of escort for the victims of the most serious abuses.
"After the report, women must be accompanied to a protected place and made safe, immediately, a minute later, whether it's a hotel or a facility. The woman must no longer be traceable to the man she reported. It is the cheapest and simplest solution. Politics does not understand these things because they have never seen a cause, or a woman who cries and comes to the studio to ask for help. You have to put your hand in your wallet. We have two thousand fewer magistrates on the organic plant, you can change the pieces of paper, the codes, but it takes men to apply them. Why doesn't Cartabia say this? ".
The ministers are also aiming to train the police, judges and prosecutors.
"A fundamental crux of the problem. We need trained magistrates, non-sexists, law enforcement agencies and also able to decode non-verbal language. Our professionals do what they can but are not prepared in the most absolute way. The specialization we want it is precisely so that the magistrates are able to verify and understand the serious case from time to time, averting the tragedy. Once you have identified the serious case there you have to be severe, enough with this hyper-guarantee towards the executioners ".
Returning to financing, it was said that the package will include economic aid.
"I hope so, but I don't believe it. I want to see how much is being funded. For women they have always financed a lot of things, but little money. For this slaughter they are not enough. I want to see concretely in a year what this chattering state will have done. As we use a lot of money for justice collaborators, the same must be done to provide these women with the necessary to live and support their children. Many do not report precisely because they cannot send their only source of income to jail, they would end up in the middle of a street ".
This connects us to the "unresolved" question of liberty income so far only granted in conditions of poverty.
"You have to be very careful about politics, so far they've all made fun of us. In what measure is the income of liberty given, to whom is it given, for how long, and above all to pay for what? Is it some kind of citizenship income? Will it allow the woman to pay for our groceries, mortgage and bills? Because 500 euros solves nothing. And women keep punches, kicks and punches ".
Finally, the electronic bracelet is being studied for men affected by an approach ban. Do you think it is useful?
"Electronic bracelets are not needed. We must take the code of procedure and begin to use house arrest and custodial arrests in prison for the most serious cases, without many guarantees that lead us nowhere. Obviously there is also the problem of woman who denounces the forgery, as an attack on the partner for example, who must go to jail like the violent man and suffer the same punishment. More than 60% of the judgments surveyed end up for dismissal, acquittal or acquittal for cases of unfounded complaints, in which after the complaint the judge decides to get rid of the papers. But the electronic bracelet is exposed to gray areas like phones and may not work, so it's not a solution. "
