Human rights: spotting violence against women
[Episode 96]
Violence against women in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is widespread and chronic, yet it remains under the radar. Women find it difficult to report abuses because there is little or no legal framework in place to protect them - and because the “honor” of their families is considered more important than the crimes committed against them. Having a place to be mlistened to - and in some cases also to be fostered - is the first step to break this silence and antiviolence spots are getting more and more in the Territories thanks to international cooperation projects. Guest of this show is Irene Agnello, Italian psychotherapist and member of the association Differenza Donna, which has been working on violence against women for the past 20 years in Italy and in foreign countries such as Russia and the Occupied Territories.
