'According to Italian national statistic agency ISTAT, over seven million women in Italy have suffered from physical or sexual violence at least once, amounting to nearly a quarter of the female population. Sexual violence by itself counts more than five million victims and 961,000 women have experienced some form of physical abuse. A report by Italian women’s advocacy association Casa Internazionale delle Donne claims that every three days in Italy a woman is murdered.'
