In a powerful demonstration against gender-based violence, thousands took to the streets, voicing their anger at recent comments by Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara.

The minister's assertion that patriarchy is legally extinct and linking violence against women to irregular immigration sparked outrage.

Protesters, carrying symbolic keys and banners, demanded action against patriarchal violence and called for comprehensive sexual education in schools.

The demonstration, marked by burning images of Valditara and slogans challenging his views, highlighted the ongoing struggle for women's rights in Italy.

Activists emphasized the need for educational reforms to address gender violence, urging the government to support proposed amendments for inclusive education policies.
