"We realized that, contrary to what we thought, the North is the place where it is more dangerous to be a woman, while the South is bringing up the rear. The data are probably motivated by the various cultural influences in the northern society. "
While it is relatively easy to understand what is behind the "contrary to what we thought," Professor Jannini, ie the correlation between violence against women and poverty, more cryptic is his explanation of the phenomenon. Between 7% in the South and 58% in the North there is a difference, not a minimum gap. What do you want to hear Professor Jannini when he talks about different cultural influences? Perhaps the rapes and violence against women in the northern territories are to be attributed only to immigrants and to the south who live there?
European data reported in a survey conducted by the European Agency for Fundamental Rights says that kind of abuse are most common in Northern Europe: at the top of the rankings in fact we find Denmark (with 52% of women who tell of have suffered physical or sexual violence from the age of 15 years), Finland (47%) and Sweden (46%). Following are the Netherlands (45%), France and Great Britain (44%), while Italy comes in eighteenth place (27%). In short, a little 'suicides and how to use spicofarmaci, the more you go to the northern areas richer and the incidence of the phenomenon increases. The truth is that violence against women, like all social dramas, is the result of a network of other social problems (poverty, alcoholism, drugs, psychiatric distress, low education), cultural commingling of course, but also a respect for the different the fairer sex. Compared with that in poor areas is still strong because not affected by commodification. Moreover, the Italian macho culture is today embodied by the offensive sight of a woman marked by the advent of TV Berlusconi and his sexual adventures that luxury does not have to be ashamed of and have fun. And if we want to go in the early days of the nation, the first of rapes committed them Bersaglieri Italian Carabinieri and the Piedmont, to the detriment of women in the South, in the name of contempt for ethnic and cultural diversity ... contrary to what you might think.
