One in ten women has already suffered some form of cyber-violence since the age of 15. One in three experiences some form of violence during her lifetime. In Italy, according to Istat data, nearly 7 million women have experienced physical or sexual violence.
Behind these numbers are stories, but also challenges in research, communication, and concrete intervention. How is gender-based violence measured and what is the purpose of doing so? What obstacles and opportunities emerge when we move into the digital environment, where the boundaries between freedom and risk become thinner?
Guests of the episode:
Angela Toffanin, researcher at CNR-IRPPS and involved in the projects VIVA (Evaluation and Analysis of interventions to prevent and combat violence against women), and CYBER-VAWG – Social representations of cyber-violence against women and girls.
Eleonora Lozzi, operator at the Padua Anti-Violence Center and head of the Reception and Hospitality Area of the Centro Veneto Progetti Donna.
“Il dato è tratto – Society in numbers and voices” is the podcast produced by the Communication Office of the CNR Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies (CNR-IRPPS).
CNR-IRPPS collaborated, through the Mind the Geps project, on the creation of the game Metadiverso, the interactive quiz designed to increase CNR staff awareness of gender equality challenges.
