The violence against women-Carmelo Lazzarino ITE Piria 2D
The expression gender violence refers to all forms of violence, from psychological and physical to sexual, from the acts of persecution of the so-called stalking to rape, to femicide, which affect a large number of people discriminated against on the basis of sex. From the 1970s onwards, feminist movements began to mobilize against gender-based violence, both in terms of rape and in terms of mistreatment and domestic violence. The movement questioned the patriarchal family and the role of man in his function of "husband / father-master", no longer wanting to accept any form of violence exerted on women outside or within the family. The first anti-violence centers were born only in the late nineties from women's associations of the women's movement. Today there are various organizations working on various types of gender-based violence. To live in a better world, women must be protected, violence is never the solution.
