Every day in Sardinia at least 4 women are victims of violence, physical or sexual, or of persecution.
This is what emerges from the data of the Ministry of the Interior reworked by Istat. The most recent are related to 2021 and concern only the "known" and reported cases. The total number of incidents of abuse, beatings, stalking and sexual violence, therefore, is in all likelihood much, much greater.
Based on the latest data available, the total cases of these crimes on the island are almost 1,700 a year (1,669, to be precise). Of these, 90% have women as victims.
In detail, in Sardinia, it is female (2021 data):
- 91% of the victims of the 586 annual cases of abuse in the family
- 95% of the victims of the 514 annual cases of persecution
- Almost 89% of the 450 annual cases of beatings
- 87% of the 119 annual cases of sexual assault
As for feminicides: in Sardinia, in 2022, 7 were committed , a number that places the island in third place in the infamous national ranking regarding crimes committed by men against women. In the last 5 years, on the other hand, 18 women have been killed on the island .
Dramatic figures, which arouse confusion and which have led the Government, also in the wake of the last, dramatic episodes (the killing of Giulia Tramontano in the Milanese area and that of Pierpaola Romano in Rome) to announce : «We will bring to the next Council of Ministers , or at least in the next one, the package of rules on which as the Ministry of Equal Opportunities we are working together with the Ministries of the Interior and Justice, for a first cut to the anti-violence rules", announced the . Adding: "The law alone is not enough, without a cultural change, but it can do a lot and making it as effective as possible is a categorical imperative for which we feel full responsibility".
