“We are indignant and offended in front of the re-proposition of the usual, trite and outdated sexist stereotypes for which women would be co-responsible for the violence suffered, repeated in addition to referring to women victims of femicide, killed by their partners or exes often at the end of a life of mistreatment and violence. An unacceptable rhetoric, an unsustainable re-legitimization by the press ”.
Antonella Veltri, president of D.i.Re, he comments like this the words of Barbara Palombelli, who intervening in the Door of Forum, on Rete 4, yesterday, about the tragic wave of femicides in recent weeks, she said "Sometimes it is also legitimate to wonder: but these men were completely out of their minds, completely clouded or there was exasperating and aggressive behavior even from other part? ".
“It's a long way to go. We ask for a public apology, which is certainly not enough, from those who have put on the same level the women who died at the hands of men and the alleged 'exasperating and aggressive' attitude of those who are no longer around today”, Continues Veltri.
"While discussing the inclusion of gender-based violence among the new areas of crime listed in the treaty on the functioning of the European Union, we find ourselves strongly opposing in Italy a thought that offends and damages the dignity of all women," she adds.
“It is not acceptable for the message to pass silently that it is 'something else' that causes the death of women by the hand of men. Nothing and nothing can justify violence against women. Everyone must be aware of this ”, concludes the President of D.i.Re.
