A meeting took place on Tuesday at Palazzo Chigi to discuss the use of the electronic bracelet monitoring system to combat violence against women.
Speaking at the presentation of the No Excuse campaign against gender-based violence at Rome’s Luiss University, Piantedosi noted, “As of 15 November this year, 10,458 electronic bracelets are active, 4,677 for cases of stalking. Clearly, managing such a high number of bracelets is a major commitment for police forces.” He also highlighted “undeniable problems in the monitoring system.”
On Tuesday, Piantedosi stated that between 1 January and 3 November this year, 96 women were killed in Italy, including 82 murdered by family members and 51 by partners or ex-partners. “From 1 January to 3 November, Italy recorded 263 murders. Of these, 96 victims were women, 82 killed by someone close to them, including 51 by a partner or former partner,” Piantedosi stated. He added, “Our country must send an unequivocal and courageous message: violence against women remains an emergency that demands every possible solution.”
Government continues to state illegal immigration a factor
Premier Giorgia Meloni, speaking on Tuesday during a G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, said illegal migration contributes to violence against women alongside other factors.
She explained, “Women’s empowerment and violence against women are separate issues. Violence against women is far from resolved. We must address all causes. Figures show a significant impact of mass illegal migration, and Italy will continue working to stop it. There are also cultural reasons behind gender-based violence that we must fight. It is paradoxical that violence against women increases as women gain more space. This should prompt reflection.” Meloni reaffirmed the government’s commitment to tackling the issue.

On Monday, Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara linked rising sexual violence in Italy to illegal immigration. In a video message during the presentation of the Giulia Cecchettin Foundation, Valditara said, “We cannot ignore that increased sexual violence is partly linked to forms of marginalisation and deviance stemming from illegal immigration.” Giulia was killed by her white Italian ex-boyfriend.
The numbers showing this factor have yet to be shared.
