Compared to a year there has been an increase.
Two years ago, Michela Murgia on Republic tried to give a definition of what it was and what it is feminicide. Highlighting the many flaws in the Italian system in prevent potentially dangerous situations.
“In recent years the security one has prevailed, with specific laws that intervene however only when the violence manifests itself in a physical or persecutory way. At the center of this vision is the murderer or the stalker and this means that, when the State begins to deal with him, the woman has already become a victim. However, none or very few actions have been implemented to defuse the chauvinistic culture at its base And patriarchalthe one that leads men to consider women their property and women to mistake it for love.”
For the Murgia, take care of the violence and not of discrimination However, it always meant arriving too late. For this reason the term femicide does not only define the death, but also the mortification of women. “Physical death is in fact only possible where civil mortification has already been permitted, that is, all the denials of physical dignity, psychic And moral aimed at individual women as such and at all women in their gender”.
Finally, the writer explained that feminicide, before and more than a death, “it is a process of denial and control. ‘I’ll kill you’ is his conclusion and it only becomes more than a threat when all other words and actions have already been acted upon.”
