Violence against women is a spread phenomenon with severe consequences on the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of women. It is recognized by the United Nations as an important issue concerning the public and social health, as well as a violation of the human rights that has deep effects on the society as a whole.

Data and information provide institutions, associations and citizens with a reference framework useful to evaluate the extent of the phenomenon, to know the victims and authors’ characteristics, to understand the roots and the contexts where these crimes grow up and they are tools to develop effective policies and actions.
