3 milioane de italience suferă abuzuri fizice sau sexuale înainte de vârsta de 16 ani / Româncele au cel mai ridicat procent din rândul străinelor / Majoritatea cazurilor de violență sexuală are loc între 11 și 16 ani

A recent report reveals that a significant percentage of Italian women have experienced physical or sexual violence before the age of 16, with alarming rates among foreign women. The study highlights the prevalence of violence from known individuals, particularly within families. While there is a slight decrease in reported sexual violence since 2014, the intergenerational transmission of violence remains a concern.
