Crazy men beating up or killing women all the time that people just shrug and say how
It’s her fault for not leaving earlier.

Makes me sick.

We almost certainly have more than 50 domestic violence deaths a week, let alone a year. So this speaks to how Italy is reprioritizing the issue while the US, comparatively, is not. Either way, it’s long overdue for both countries.

By boyfriends, husbands, or exes. Not sure if that number includes the ones who are murdered for rejecting a man or boy's advances. The numbers are considered intimate partner violence statistics, so I doubt it.

violence against women as long as they are trying to control our bodily functions. No country who doesn't acknowledge women's autonomy will fight against gender violence... for them, I am convinced, it's a right and privilege to beat up on women in any way possible.

As civil rights are stripped from us, the less human we become. That's one of the first aspects to violence against a group... "other" them. And what better way to "other" someone than claiming they have no human rights.

At least there is outrage in Italy... which is more than I can say for this country most of the time. Here, it's just another day ending in "y."

call it what it is, “femicide”, as many european countries do —killing someone because they happen to be female.
