Italy’s parliament on Tuesday approved a law that introduces femicide into the country’s criminal law and punishes it with life in prison.
The vote coincided with the international day for the elimination of violence against women, a day designated by the U.N. General Assembly.
The law won bipartisan support from the center-right majority and the center-left opposition in the final vote in the Lower Chamber, passing with 237 votes in favor.
The law, backed by the conservative government of Premier Giorgia Meloni, comes in response to a series of killings and other violence targeting women in Italy. It includes stronger measures against gender-based crimes including stalking and revenge porn.
We will simply keep going in circles until you explain why frequency is irrelevant.
See my comment full of examples of why.
If you need further explanation than that, I don’t know what to tell you. I hope one day you expand your view to accept that others can be at risk, and are no less at risk because others like them aren’t killed more often.
Even having to write that sentence seems absolutely insane to me.
Enjoy your day. I’m done.
Thank you for staying the course here, I agree wholeheartedly that the frequency should not affect which hate crimes are illegal.
