The aim is to provide an overview of this phenomenon through information, quality indicators and integrated data gathered from several sources as Istat, the Department of Equal Opportunity, Ministries, Regions, anti-violence centers, shelters and other services as the dedicated national helpline 1522.
Together with statistics and analysis reports, here are available documents about Italian and European policies to combat violence and focus on prevention, training activities at schools and for health workers, police, lawyers, judges.
This integrated system originated from the National Plan to fight violence against women and will become a privileged observatory for the government bodies and all the public and private stakeholders to monitor several aspects of the phenomenon, to fight violence against women with effective means and to progressively achieve the objectives of the Istanbul Convention.
