The Una Nella Centomila Foundation "views with great concern what is happening around the Istanbul Convention" "Once again a game is being played on women's bodies that favors balances of power to the detriment of hard-won rights", says the foundation. The European directive, proposed in March 2022, eliminates the article that defines rape as sexual intercourse in the absence of the explicit consent of the woman.

Sexual harassment in the world of work and as regards online violence are no longer included: the victim should prove the damage suffered by the circulation of their private images.
