Rethinking Welfare to prevent and combat gender-based violence

Welfare e Ergonomia Issue 2/2025
edited by Pietro Demurtas and Emiliana Mangone

Issue 2/2025 of the journal Welfare e Ergonomia, “Rethinking Welfare to prevent and combat gender-based violence”, edited by Pietro Demurtas and Emiliana Mangone, has been published.

This issue analyzes the evolution of the Italian anti-violence system, which originated in the 1970s through the initiative of feminist movements and developed with significant regional differences until achieving greater national coordination following the Istanbul Convention (2013). Today, it is characterized by the complexity of multi-level governance and the need to coordinate often diverse actors and approaches.

Gender-based violence emerges as a testing ground for welfare: as a widespread and persistent phenomenon, it highlights the impact of social and economic inequalities on the possibilities of escaping violence.

Recover Together Recover Strong

Sumatra

From July 19 to 21, the Women 20 summit will meet in Sumatra, Indonesia. This is an Engagement Group of the G20, representing the world’s 20 most industrialized countries, organized around the slogan used by Indonesia for the G20: Recover Together, Recover Stronger.

Dr. Sveva Avveduto from the CNR will lead the Italian delegation. The W20 group, which addresses all G20 themes from a female perspective, will present the results of a year’s work in the form of a Communiqué. This will be delivered to the G20 at the end of the Summit so that world leaders can incorporate gender equality and female empowerment into the conclusions of the G20 to be held in November.

The W20 has identified five priority areas, the first concerning non-discrimination and equality in every sector—from education to work, entrepreneurship, health, technology, and energy—as well as in public and private life.

In particular, world leaders are asked to take concrete measures to close the gender pay gap. An important area is education for boys and girls, aimed at eliminating gender stereotypes and the difficulties girls face in pursuing scientific studies and careers.
