With a degree in Contemporary History, I specialise in the history of women and feminist movements, with a particular focus on historical and political analysis of issues relating to sexuality, reproductive health and male violence against women.

I have explored the issue of violence against women both through research and through practical experience working in antiviolence centres and shelters.

During my professional career at the CNR-IRPPS, I gained six years’ experience in the design and implementation of quantitative and qualitative surveys, focusing specifically on the study of specialised and general services operating within local anti-violence networks and on the evaluation of public policies, with reference to both measures implemented at national level and regional interventions.

In these areas of research, the regional context has been a specific focus of in-depth analysis, including in the context of collaboration with other institutes.

I have also collaborated on numerous other research projects with an evaluative focus, specifically on the sexual and reproductive health of migrant women and on violence against children.

Finally, I have gained significant experience in supporting research projects coordination and in developing appropriate communication tools.

I am currently a member of the Mariposa project research team.
