Description
|
1522 is the helpline number provided by the Equal Opportunities Department of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers to support and help victims of gender-based violence and stalking, in line with what is defined in the Istanbul Convention. It is free, guarantees anonymity and covers different forms of violence for 24 hours a day and in 4 different languages besides Italian (English, French, Arabic and Spanish). This helpline provides first aid information in case of emergency or useful information on the services and anti-violence centers active at territorial level to which victims of violence, or other users can turn. The database relating to the services to be addressed, is constantly updated by the Regional Administrations and the Associations active at local level: from the moment of activation of a new center or service or counter, all the indications regarding addresses and methods of service delivery are provided, allowing the 1522 operators to provide updated and timely indications.
The data is available starting in January 2013. The analysis of the phenomenon of violence and stalking arising from examination of the 1522 data, therefore, provides a cross section useful in understanding the dynamics and characteristics, which correspond surprisingly well with the profile already revealed by the sample surveys conducted by ISTAT on the same subject.
