Interior Ministry: in 6 months fifty femicides in Italy

Il report è fermo appunto a ieri e porta la cifra di 49 “vittime di sesso femminile” morte per “omicidio volontario” in ambito domestico e famigliare. L’ultimo femminicidio di Roma si aggiunge all’elenco. Nello stesso periodo dello scorso anno le vittime erano state 51 secondo lo stesso monitoraggio della struttura a composizione interforze. In tutto il 2021 sono state uccise 103 donne, 101 nel 2020, 92 nel 2019.

Femminicidi: nell'89% dei casi l'assassino è un partner, ex o parente - Speciali

Da inizio anno sono stati 49 i femminicidi in Italia, 11 soltanto nelle due settimane che vanno dal 5 al 20 giugno che rischiano di trasformare il mese (non ancora terminato) nel peggiore dell'anno. Nell'89% dei casi l'assassino è il partner, l'ex oppure un altro parente. © ANSA

“To date, we have recorded that the total number of murders in Italian society is constantly decreasing,”

Stefano Delfini

, director of the Criminal Analysis Service of the Central Police Department, explains to ANSA.

A trend that has consolidated over the past 20 years.

What remains, however, "

dramatically stable over time and does not decrease is the number of murders of women

." 


Of the 49 female victims,

29 found death at the hands of their partners or ex

. It should be noted that this year the victims of voluntary homicide committed by the partner or former partner are all female.   

The word "femicide" does not appear in the document.

"There is no autonomous legal qualification that constitutes this crime", explains the director of the Sac.

"

Monitoring

existed even before, but it has continued in this way since the beginning of 2000", says Delfini. "It is important for us to reconstruct the contexts and areas in which these crimes are committed, especially deepening the victim / perpetrator relationship.

Our criminal code, in fact, is based on

the perpetrator of the crime

, while to guide the work of the police it is essential to have information on the

victim

as well : to avoid secondary victimization and to have more elements on the relationship with those who commit the crime.

femicide ".

The question, admits Delfini, “is also cultural.

And it requires a wide-ranging intervention in society: I am thinking of associations, schools, anti-violence centers ”.

This is why "means and funding are needed. Sensitivity in the field is changing, also thanks to the entry into

the police force

of young people and perhaps with a university course. There are many investments that are being made today in the

training

of young colleagues, but also towards those who are on the front line and who must be able to recognize

gender-based violence

”, concludes Stefano Delfini.
