Naples. A violence that recalls cases from years ago: the partner beaten with a leather belt. A savage attitude that leaves you speechless. Luckily the carabinieri arrived and stopped the man who was arrested. Now that violence he used against his partner will have to be used against himself to reflect.
Article Key Points
The protagonist of this latest sad story of violence against women is a 50 year old from San Giovanni a Teduccio who, in addition to the belt, beat his partner with kicks and punches so much that the woman was taken to the Cardarelli hospital in Naples to have the wounds and bruises that those blows had left on her body and face treated.
Violence also in the Vomero neighborhood
A 49-year-old will have to answer for violating the ban on approaching places frequented by the injured party and stalking. Despite the measure, she continued to stalk her ex, showing up in front of her son's school and at his workplace. Persecution also via email, with dozens of unwanted messages.
The man was arrested in deferred flagrante delicto, according to the indications of the recently introduced legislation.
Gender violence also runs on those joyless smiles. Because they hide a void that only social support and closeness can fill.
The Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Naples know this well too.
With initiatives and concrete support for the victims of a phenomenon that shows no signs of slowing down.
Data in Naples and province
In less than a year (from January 1 to November 21, 2024), in the province of Naples, 432 people were arrested (387 in flagrante delicto or in execution of a measure of the judicial authority, 45 in deferred flagrante delicto). An average of 1,3 people per day.
The number of people reported at large reaches 2230: almost 7 people per day.
Numbers in contrast to the trend for the complaints filed. Thanks to the awareness campaigns on the phenomenon, an increase is noted, a symptom of greater trust in the police force.
The 4 “rooms all for oneself” (Ercolano, Naples Capodimonte, Caivano, Naples Stella) played a fundamental role in the actions of contrast and prevention, inaugurated thanks to the support of the Soroptimist association.
The “Rooms” are conceived as reassuring refuges, where women can share their experiences in a comfortable, discreet and private environment.
Instead, a pink room will be inaugurated tomorrow, created with the patronage of Fidapa BPW Italy.
It will be built in the headquarters of the Carabinieri Company of Ischia and will also offer confidentiality to those who intend to tell and report their stories.
