La violenza di genere in prospettiva comparata: il caso italiano e nordafricano a confronto

Abstract

Domestic violence, sexual harassment, forced marriage, stalking not only represent expressions of violence of criminal significance but are also manifestations of discrimination undermining equality and creating dependencies between genders and are, therefore, formsof “second-tier violence” or persecution. This aspect is sensitive in all corners of the globe,regardless of the function under which it is considered. This paper, after briefly analyzing the European landscape, focuses on a comparative analysis between the Italian case and some North African experiences
