The government’s draft bill to introduce the crime of femicide into the Italian legal system – which will soon be discussed in Parliament – has been highlighted on several occasions at the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), currently underway at the United Nations until March 21, in the presence of the Organization’s 193 Member States and thousands of representatives of civil society from all over the world.<\/p>\n
More specifically, the measure, defined by Minister Roccella as \u201ca disruptive innovation, not only legally but also culturally\u201d, was presented today at the Ministerial Meeting on Equal Opportunities of the Ministers of the EU Member States, at the ministerial round table at the United Nations \u201cNational Mechanisms for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women and Girls\u201d and will be at the heart of a dedicated event organized by Italy on March 12 entitled \u201cNot One More! Improving Prevention and Protection to End Feminicide in the OSCE Region and Beyond\u201d, in collaboration with the OSCE and the Government of Cyprus and with the participation of Reem Alsalem, UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls. The government’s draft bill will also be presented during Italy\u2019s national statement at the general debate of the CSW, scheduled for later in the week.<\/p>\n
A comparison of this provision with the legislation of the 193 countries participating in the CSW69 places Italy among the most advanced countries at the international level as to the prevention and eradication of violence against women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The government’s draft bill to introduce the crime of femicide into the Italian legal system – which will soon be discussed in Parliament – has been highlighted on several occasions at the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), currently underway at the United Nations until March 21, in the presence of the Organization’s […]","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":616,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9579"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9582,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9579\/revisions\/9582"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/italyun.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
