"Istat, the Italian National Institute of Statistics, reports that the number of women aged between 16 and 70 who say they have been victims of physical or sexual violence at least once in their lives is 6 743 000, or 31.9%. For rape alone, the percentage is 4.8% – more than a million women. Moreover, 14.3% of women say they have been the victims of violence by their partners: 12% physical violence and 6.1% sexual violence. Of the remaining 24.7%, 9.8% have been the target of physical violence and 20.4% of sexual violence. As many as 2.4% of women say they have been raped by their partners, and 2.9% by strangers. Of the women who claim to have suffered violence from their partners, 93% say they did not report it to the authorities; the proportion rises to 96% when the attacker was not the partner. These figures are appalling and raise a fundamental question that may perhaps find an answer in the resolution we have adopted today. Why is this kind of violence not being reported? It is because the victims do not feel protected. Victim protection programmes are therefore heading in the right direction of providing support for women, as well as for the elderly and children."@en1
