Originally Published 2 years ago — by Euronews
Italy is preparing for a national day of protest against gender violence following the recent killing of a 22-year-old student by her ex-boyfriend. Over 100 women have been killed in Italy this year, sparking a heated debate and social media storm. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has pledged to raise public awareness on the issue, leading to the approval of a new law introducing more protections for women. Protests and vigils have been held across the country, with a national rally planned in Rome on Saturday, coinciding with the International Day against gender violence.
