Arena on Femicide – In che modo le donne possono essere protette meglio? | Una serie di omicidi contro le donne sta scuotendo politici ed esperti. In Svizzera, il rischio di donne che muoiono a causa della violenza domestica è molto più alto che in Spagna. Quali sono le soluzioni nella lotta contro questa violenza?

I don’t speak German so I cannot really talk about what they say other than the summary of the article, but there is one very important thing about Spain.

For the past 30 years, ever since a woman went on a TV talk show to say calmly that she was sure her husband would kill him and there was nothing nobody would do just to end up burnt a few weeks later, people have been very aware of this problem. There are government departments at all levels (local, provincial and national) dedicated to stopping this and this is national news every week. 

Yet despite all this the number of feminicides has decreased only 10% in the last 20 years. 

So, saying as the text says, something like “in Spain they track the position of the aggressors” as if that would change anything is laughable. This is, unfortunately, an extremely complex problem with very very very difficult solutions.
