(ANSA) - ROME, NOVEMBER 25 - "On this anniversary, as every year, the words that could be used are many. I choose: discrimination, loneliness and pain. But numbers are the most tragic and eloquent image: in 2019 There were 96 victims of femicide in our country. A woman killed every three days. A case of stalking or maltreatment every quarter of an hour. More than 2 thousand orphans who are no longer there. These are the numbers of an unacceptable "slaughter". the clearest photograph of a phenomenal drama that has worsened further in the last terrible months of the pandemic ".
Thus the President of the Senate MariaElisabetta Casellati participating in the web marathon of the Qn group for the Day against violence against women.
"Violence against a woman and femicide must be told in all their crudeness. Do not call it" extreme gesture of love "or" sick love "because these crimes are as far as we can be from love. Education and education, family and school , are the weapons we have to overturn stereotypes "(ANSA).
