Violence against women in Italy rose
3.5% last year over 2020, the D.i.Re anti-domestic abuse group
said Wednesday in a report on the women who turned to its
shelters.
Last year a total of 20,711 women went to a D.i.Re centre, they
said.
Almost half, 46%, were aged between 30 and 49.
They were prevalently Italian (only 26% were of a different
nationality), a constant figure over the last few years.
The perpetrators of violence were also prevalently Italian, with
only 27% being of foreign nationality, the report said.
Domestic abuse and wider gender violence rose during COVID
lockdowns.
