(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 25 - "Today's recurrence leads us to reflect on a phenomenon that unfortunately does not stop being a public emergency. The news of violence against women still occupies our news too often, offering the image of a society where respect for women is not part of people's daily actions, of private and public language, of interpersonal relationships ".
Thus the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in a declaration on the occasion of the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women".
"The institutions - says Mattarella - have picked up the alarm cry launched by the same women and by the associations that for decades have been committed to eradicating what is, still in too many situations, a rooted conception aimed at disregarding the freedom of women and their ability to affirm. it remains essential for women who feel threatened to turn to those who can offer support and prevent the degeneration of coexistence into violence ".
