New measures against femicide: the role of electronic bracelets

The current context of femicide in Italy

In recent years, the phenomenon of femicide has reached alarming proportions in Italy, raising a heated debate on the need for more effective measures to protect women. According to data provided by the Ministry of the Interior, the number of murders of women by partners or ex-partners has remained consistently high, highlighting the urgency of targeted legislative interventions.

The government, aware of the gravity of the situation, has decided to introduce a new bill that provides for more stringent measures to ensure the safety of the victims.

Electronic bracelets: limits and potential

Electronic bracelets, used as a monitoring tool for perpetrators of violence, have proven to have objective limitations. Although they can be a deterrent, they do not always guarantee the safety of victims. The Minister for Family, Birth Rate and Equal Opportunities, Eugenia Roccella, has stressed that, although bracelets can be useful, it is essential to combine them with harsher restrictive measures. These measures could include the immediate removal of the aggressor from the victim and the implementation of more rigorous safety protocols.

The role of Parliament in the fight against femicide

Parliament plays a crucial role in the approval of new laws on femicide. Roccella urged members to quickly examine the bill, highlighting the importance of a united vote to ensure women's safety. Collaboration between different political forces is essential to address such a complex and deeply rooted problem in society. Only through collective commitment will it be possible to implement significant and lasting changes in the fight against gender violence.
