La Russa Jr.: crime extinguished with €25.000.

When women's voices are worth less than money

“After the case of sexual violence was dismissed, the woman who had reported La Russa Jr. is obliged to accept the financial compensation she had always refused and to see the crime of revenge porn extinguished” declares Cristina Carelli, president D.i.Re – Donne in Rete contro la violenza"Once again, the justice system fails to provide justice to women. The use of restorative justice, in these cases, is based on an inequality that, by effectively mediating, does not allow the victim real compensation and makes her feel victimized again, this time by those who should have protected her person and her dignity," Carelli continues. "In a climate of general attack on women's freedom and self-determination, this court case confirms all the concerns that D.i.Re and the women's movement have long been denouncing, also in relation to the application of restorative justice to crimes against women” concludes the president.
