After the case of Angelica Schiatti made the headlines the length of time a woman has to wait for her complaint to be at least taken into consideration, perhaps more attention will be paid to what anti-violence centers report when it comes to violence and justice : a woman in a situation of violence cannot wait years to get to trial.

Also in the periodic drafting of reports for CEDAW – Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women and for the group of experts on violence GREVIO Group of Experts on action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence, d.i.Re has spoken out several times, highlighting the critical issues linked to a slow and intrinsically dangerous judicial system for women, who in fact decide not to report.

Once again, D.i.Re – Women on the Net against violence seeks to highlight what has been reported many times: without a radical change in culture and adequate training for those who come into contact with situations of violence and stalking, the Red Code, which should have brought so many innovations , remains a dead letter and violence will continue not to be addressed and concretely opposed.

"We are first of all close to Angelica Schiatti, for this odyssey of hers. Four years to open the trial are certainly not what the code red provides. The expected fast track does not exist, just as there is no acceleration of the judicial response. Indeed, having to wait four years to start the trial means denying access to justice to a woman who has suffered violence” declares Elena Biaggioni, vice president D.i.Re - Women on the Net against violence. "Also very serious postponement to find an agreement with the man who reported: it is a way to privatize violence” continues Biaggioni. “We said it to CEDAW and GREVIO, we repeat it everywhere: women's demand for justice must be heard. It is useless to invite women to report if the response does not arrive even after four years; it is also serious to push them to seek an agreement with those who have reported. These are the situations that women who report stalking or violence find themselves facing in their relationship with justice” concludes the vice president.
