What is happening
During a visit to the Misericordia Hospital in Grosseto, including its “Pink Room,” Mattarella said combating gender-based violence requires the commitment of the entire Republic. He cited 97 femicides in the previous year and 34 so far this year, according to the source. The visit also highlighted the hospital’s Codice Rosa protocol, created to identify and assist victims of violence.
Why is it on the Radar?
The visit focused attention on prevention, education and the early identification of violence. It also showcased the Codice Rosa model, which was developed after hospital staff found that reported cases in emergency care were far below the numbers recorded by anti-violence centers and prosecutors.
