Rome, 9 July (LaPresse) – ‘The Senate Justice Committee unanimously approves the text introducing the crime of femicide.’ This was announced in a statement by the chair of the Justice Committee and Lega senator Giulia Bongiorno. ‘This is a turning point in law that also marks a qualitative leap in the fight against violence against women. Recognising that femicide is the result of discrimination means correctly framing the phenomenon,’ added Bongiorno. ‘As chair of the Committee, I express my satisfaction with the approval of a text that also represents a battle that the Lega has been fighting for some time,’ she concluded.
