20:00Now PlayingIn 2023, Giulia Tramontano was murdered by her partner in Milan, Italy. She was seven months pregnant at the time of her death.
137 women and girls around the world are killed by an intimate partner or family member every day. That’s according to the most recent data from the United Nations.
In an effort to curb violence against women, Italy has now become the latest country to adopt a specific law around the murder of a woman – on account of her gender.
Last month, the Italian parliament voted unanimously to introduce this term “femicide” into the country’s legal code.
Now, there’s ample debate about whether this new law will actually change the reality for women – or whether it’s purely symbolic.
Giulia's sister, Chiara Tramontano, speaks to Asma Khalid from the Global Story Podcast.
