In Italy, the issue of violence against women remains a pressing concern, highlighted by recent data analysis from 2024. This comes a year after the tragic femicide of Giulia Cecchettin, underscoring the ongoing struggle for women's safety and rights.

Hnia Harrati, a fashion designer who fled an oppressive household as a child, now supports others with similar experiences, showcasing resilience and empowerment.

Meanwhile, Rita Querzè points out the economic challenges women face in Italy, where only half of the female population is employed, making financial independence and true emancipation difficult.

In a symbolic gesture, Palazzo Chigi, the seat of the Italian government, was illuminated in red to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, drawing attention to this critical issue.
