Abstract
Male violence against women is an attack on their human rights and represents an enormous harm to women and society as a whole. Over the past three decades, various measures to combat violence and support victims have been developed in Italy as well, at the legislative, social, cultural and educational levels. It is difficult, however, to draw conclusions about the changes that have occurred in this regard: there is a lack of reliable data on both the evolution of violence and the implementation and effectiveness of measures to counter it. Poor education on violence, resistance in recognizing it as such, stereotypes and sexist prejudices constitute strong obstacles in the process of liberation from male violence: in our country, perhaps more than elsewhere, this path still seems long and difficult.
La violenza maschile contro le donne è un attacco ai loro diritti umani e rappresenta un danno enorme per le donne e per tutta la società. Negli ultimi trent’anni, anche in Italia sono state sviluppate diverse misure di contrasto della violenza e di sostegno alle vittime, sul piano legislativo, sociale, culturale ed educativo. È difficile, tuttavia, trarre delle conclusioni sui cambiamenti avvenuti in merito: mancano infatti dati affidabili sia sull’evoluzione della violenza sia sull’applicazione e sull’efficacia delle misure per contrastarla. Scarsa formazione sulla violenza, resistenze nel riconoscerla come tale, stereotipi e pregiudizi sessisti costituiscono forti ostacoli nel processo di liberazione dalla violenza maschile: nel nostro Paese forse più che altrove questo percorso sembra ancora lungo e accidentato.
