VIOLENCE against women in Italy has been thrust into the spotlight with a spate of murders of women by their lovers - a trend the UN has flagged as a particular problem in a country where gender stereotypes are "deeply rooted."
On Tuesday, Italy's lower chamber of parliament ratified a European anti-domestic violence convention on the same day that the latest victim was buried: a 15-year-old girl beaten, stabbed 20 times and burned alive, allegedly by her boyfriend.
The Council of Europe treaty now goes to the Italian Senate, where its passage is expected. The 2011 treaty creates a legal framework to prevent, prosecute and eliminate violence against women.
