Description
|
The 2022 State-Regions Agreement (which replaces the previous Agreement of 2014) established that anti-violence Centres, ‘provide prevention and reception services, free of charge, in compliance with confidentiality and anonymity, to all women who are victims of male violence or who are exposed to such risk, together with their minor children/children, regardless of their place of residence’. Anti-violence Centres are therefore the heart of the local network to support survivors of violence.
This data collection is aimed at providing, on a national level, a depiction of the services offered and the characteristics of those using the services of public and private anti-violence Centres, in order to steer policy operations.
Istat carries out the data collection on anti-violence centres as a part of a partnership agreement with the Equal Opportunities Department at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (DEO)
Data are collected on annual basis from all the anti-violence centres supporting women who have suffered violence and their minor children. The centres provide several services to women: telephone reception, personal interviews and other services useful for the creation of personalized paths to escape from violence. The Centers also intervene in prevention by raising awareness in the area, contribute to training for general service operators and participate in the structuring and strengthening of territorial anti-violence networks
