Campaign promoted by the Regional Women Consultancy
To stop the violence is possible. With this affirmation the Consulting Body for Women, situated under the care of the regional Council of the Piemonte, intends to start off an information
campaign for helping women victims of any kind of violence to find the courage to come out in
open, to talk, to confide and to report in order to find their lost dignity. It is further desired to do
a work of making institutions, private citizens such that a major attention and input is paid to this

designed as a useful instrument for those who everyday, may be from years are victims. From
page to page, the persons will be guided to face a process that would take them first of all to
understand that they are subjected to an abuse and that it is considered a crime, to distinguish
the various shades, therefore to take note that supporting does not serve, if not to worsen the
taken. To encourage the victims to find in themselves the courage to report, which requires that
they be told that in this case they will not be left alone, because there are laws that guard them
They should know that even near their house exists a command office, services and associations formed to help the victims of violence. Their list is also an important part of the publication
and constitutes a concrete help for those who are witnesses or when such a situation comes
that they are always handy.
These are only the first steps of a project, which deals with violence on women. The Regional
Women’s Consultancy is busy preparing other concrete and important initiatives on the conviction that it is necessary to come out of the silence.

Violence like
Violation
Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful of the violation of human rights. And perhaps the most widespread.
It doesn’t recognize any geographical, cultural or social status.
Till the time it continues, we cannot expect to realize a true progress towards equality, development and peace.
Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations
“A World Free of Violence Women”
Global videoconference, 8 March 1999
{
Violence against women is a violation of human rights.
It consists of any act that produces, or can produce physical,
sexual or psycological damage or suffering.
}
Any type of treat, making you do something under duress or depriving you of
your freedom in your public or private life, is also a type of violence.
This is called abuse of power, and this control can been manifested into
physical, sexual, psychological e economical abused.
Crime
Not to suffer violence
is a right:
IT MUST BE DEFENDED!
Therefore inflicting pains on a woman or on
her children ( from husbands, or cohabitants, relatives or
well known friends) or even treating to assault, or to kill,
or to force her to have sexual intercourse is a crime.
Let’s stop the violence !
Coming out of silence is possible
Stop the Violence
Violence how does it
manifest
Different types of violence exist:
Physical
Example
Physical violence consists of any form of aggression and ill
treatment against you, your body and things that you own.
Often it is exercised with fury and aims to obtain with force a
role of submission
{
Punching, slapping, pushing, jerking, beating, destroying objects, things, documents
that you care for.
Economic
Economic violence consists of any direct or indirect form of
control on your economic independence and that which limits
or impedes your using money, making a liberal acquisition, having a job of your own.
{
To hinder the search or maintenance of
one’s own work place, not permitting to
have a bank account, excluding you from
the financial management of the family, to
rebuke every purchase of yours, to take possession of your property, to make important
purchase without asking your opinion.
Let’s stop the violence !

Example
Coming out of silence is possible
Stop the Violence
Psycological
Sexual
Example
Psychological violence consists of attacking or injuring your personal
dignity, any form of lack of respect towards you, and an attitude that
continuously confirms your condition of inferiority.
{
Sexual violence consists of any imposition to involve in an activity e/o
sexual rapport without your consensus within or outside the relation
of a couple.
Often sexual violence consists of physical aggression of which rape,
attempt to rape, gang rape in which one is forced to have relations with
one or more persons who are strangers, with a relative, a friend or a
colleague, who doesn’t accept your refusal.
Interfamily sexual abuse is a subsequent form of sexual violence: it
is committed when a family member or friend forces you to participate
in a sexual rapport or to watch them while on act or yet, tries to involve
you in a sexual activity, even through a form of play.
Other forms of sexual violence are represented by sexual torments
(verbal, relational, visible, physical): consists of undesirable behaviour,
which is sexual in nature or based on sex to injure the dignity of women
by men.
Criticising continuously, insulting humiliation, denigrating you
even in front of others, controlling continuously, attempting to
isolate you from your parents and friends, threatens against you,
your children and family.
Mobbing
Also in the work place one can verify forms of psychological violence that implies a specific will to remove you from your position at work, explaining you
to give a resignation. A widespread phenomenon well known as mobbing and
is liable to prosecution by law.
Campaign promoted by the Regional Women Consultancy
Example
Psychological violence can manifest through proper persecution and tormenting or annoying continuously with a scope of inducing a state of alert, of an
emergency and a psychological stress. Telephone calls, sms, e-mail, unwanted
continuous visits and also following you, collecting information about you and
your movements: persecution can land up in a true and proper threaten. Commonly called as stalking (to lurk) this kind of behaviour is activated not only by
strangers but also family members normally moved by resentment or the fear to
lose a relation.
{
Forced sexual rapport, forced to watch or use pornographic material, advances that become difficult, implicit and explicit demands for a sexual relation, intentional contact with your body,
threatens on refusal.
Among sexual violence let’s not forget: trading of women for a sexual purpose, mutilation of private parts.

How “normal” is
Violence
The phenomenon of violence against women is:
Extends
but underestimated and a good part submerged
Even if during one’s life, on worldly basis:
 one woman out of three is subjected to violence as woman
 one out of four suffers a sexual abuse for her own partner
Italy, begining 2007
• 31.9% of women suffer at least once physical or sexual violence during their life
time: 18.8% have suffered physical violence, 23.7% sexual violence out of which
4.8% are rape or attempted rape (one million women)
• 5.4% of women between 16 and 70 years have suffered violence in the last 12
months: amounts to 1.150.000 women
• The rate of declaration of this offence is less than 15%
(Data supplied by the Ministry of the Internal Affairs)
Tolerated
how deep rooted it is on the cultural level
If it is considered “normal”:
a woman victim, the author of this male abuse, violence in family
 Violence is transversal, it could concern everyone: women and men of every
age, race, nationality, social class and cultural level
Risk
to the health and life of women
Violence has devastating effects on the health of women. To tolerate:
 The psycho physical equilibrium is badly effected
 The sufferer is at risk of life.
 Compromises the serenity of the persons who are involved (children, family etc.)
Today, in the World
Violence suffered by partner, husband, and fiancé’ and father is the prime cause of
death or permanent handicap to women between 16 and 44 years: even before cancer
road accidents, wars. Today, in the world, one among two women killed, is killed by the
partner, often after a violent relation.
(Source: research by the European Council)
violence
cannot be justified !
It is believed that normally violence strikes “fragile” women, who are passive victims. It is
deceitful and hypocritical to blame the victims. To tolerate violence needs a lot of strength,
the same strength that many women because of the effect of violence, don’t recognise that
they have, landing up not able to obtain from their own resources or not utilising them in an
adequate way.
The prime effect of violence!
It empties you from inside and it leaves you incapable of asking for help!
 In the ambit of family- with 174 victims (29.1% of the total)- the most risky.
The partner is the author of physical violence in 62.4% of the cases, of sexual
violence 68.3% of rape 69.7%
A solution for this cannot be looked for within the four walls of the house:
it has to be solved by an external help.
Campaign promoted by the Regional Women Consultancy
Often women have a relation with those who ill-treat them but that doesn’t mean that they are
responsible or that they contribute to provoke violence.
The kind of attitude that women intended as provoking or less prudent neither explains nor
justifies a kind any kind of violence, that which, doesn’t respect the desire and consensus of
women.

In case of violence
What to do
If you have been a victim of violence ...
Don’t think that
 You have wronged somewhere and that the one who has
abused you is justified. Violence is a crime: The fault is not of the one
who suffers but the one who exercises... don’t ever forget...
 To be the only one to find yourself in such a situation and not
having any possibility to get out. The road to be undertaken, even if not
easy is absolutely possible.
It can happen that
 You may be ashamed of what has befallen, of the situation
that you are forced to live and you don’t have the courage to speak
up.
!
Instead it is very important to remember that you have that you
have nothing to be ashamed of. Talk about it to someone; see
if he is competent, which is fundamental.
It is the first step to break violence.
 You may feel lonely, but it is not so! There exist a number of
Presiding offices, Agencies and Association at your disposal, capable
of guaranteeing the maximum confidentiality and professionalism.
Let’s stop the violence !
Coming out of silence is possible
Stop the Violence
In case of violence
If you have not been a victim but it happened to you to…
What to do
{
If you have been a victim of violence in family
Don’t let yourself be taken on by fear for yourself and for your children.
 There are many possible solutions that will be offered to you: You along
with your children will be the ones to decide if or which road to be taken
Remember that
it is indispensable to protect yourself and your children from violence.
The true risk is not been able to take a decision. Hoping
that the situation would change without doing anything is
an “ illusion “.
It is quite probable that the situation worsens and the violence continues, perhaps it might increase.
Be very careful: you are in an extreme danger.
15
!
Don’t wait to ask for help!
Even if you are worried for him and someone has suggested you to have patience, to give him
one more chance...
 Turn at the earliest to persons who are competent and who will guide you in finding a
solution that is suitable to you. There is no time to be lost.
Ideal solutions can be worked out for you and your children.
Besides, it is possible to apply caution measures and treatment to those who are responsible for violence.
Campaign promoted by the Regional Women Consultancy
Witness
An episode of violence of any kind. Don’t keep quiet, don’t forget, don’t let it go,
don’t think ‘its none of my business’, don’t consider that you should not interfere
in personal matters that is not of your concern.
To listen
Or receive secret information about physical, psychological, sexual, economical suffering about a person.
Don’t think it has been easy for them to speak about it
and don’t believe that you can solve the situation.
To guess
Something, to grasp the repeated hints of an aggressive attitude and abuse of one’s power towards another,
don’t underestimate them.
To see
Signs on the body of a person; if you have been told that they are
just accidental and you happen not to hear from that person. Don’t
minimise the issue end don’t think that they are only your imagination,
hypothesis or excessive worry.
It is important:
• Not to ever underestimate these situations and also give your disponibility to hear the person without judging them.
• To guarantee the person maximum secrecy and discretion.
• Don’t force your solutions on the person and don’t force her to take
decisions in a hurry but respect her timing and stay close.
• Contact, from your side, the Antiviolence Centre to know what kind of
measures need to be taken to help her in this first phase.
• To furnish her with useful references to put her in contact with Services that can help her; eventually accompany her.

to Services that are present on your territory. There you can find competent
persons with whom you can speak to, consult with in maximum privacy,

upon “together”is more easy and through competent and sensitive persons

Campaign promoted by the Regional Women Consultancy
It could be of help to know that...
Sexual violence is...
qualified as a crime against personal liberty
The present law recognises sexual violence as a major and serious crime compared
to the precedent normative that would classify ‘crime against public morality and a
good costume’.
(Law 15 February 1996, no. 66 “Norms against sexual violence”)
It is possible to report violence till three months from the time of happening
It is enough to present yourself in a nearby Police Station or Carabiniere or to the
nearest police, with a medical certificate that attests the violence happening.
It is possible to keep away from the house the husband or other cohabiter
If his conduct is judged as dangerous to your physical or moral integrity or for the
liberty of the other spouse or cohabiter or his immediate relative, the judge as a
precaution can apply measures of social protection.
(Law 4 April 2001 No. 154 Measures against violence in family)
It is possible to have an agreement with the Services that you keep
away from the house.
This can be worked out in a state of emergency or even programmed. In the first
case, a helping hand in keeping you as a guest in a relative or a friends place or in
a Centre that accommodates women and children will be considered. The programmed option apart from an insertion in a structure, as an alternative a house on rent
to sustain you can be proposed with an active and constant presence of a caretaker.
Your keeping a distance from the house foresees a social psychological and legal
support, which is often fundamental to reconstruct and program your life.
There exists a free legal aid for ill-treated and violence effected woman
This will be applied in favour of women who don’t have enough means of economic
sustenance. It is a fundamental instrument to guarantee to all the possibility to defend, above all through the activation and collaboration of Centres against violence
and also of Tribunals.
