Violence against women: "No new laws needed" - Politics and institutions - TGR Tagesschau Rai.it

According to lawyer Marcella Pirrone, violence against women is a problem for society as a whole. In order to solve it, you have to start at several points.

No new laws are needed. That's what we've been saying as advocates for women's shelters for years. It's about applying the law. And there we are again with culture, with attitude. What is the attitude of all professionals when using it? Starting with the social, but above all, of course, with the armed forces and the courts.
