(ANSA) Premier Giorgia Meloni said Tuesday that it is necessary to reflect on the relationship between violence and religion, “especially in relation to immigrant women.”
“Physical mistreatment, clothing limitations, bans on going to school, forced marriages, abuse and homicides get justified by the perpetrators because they are considered to be in compliance with the religion or culture of the country of origin,” Meloni said, adding that this was “unacceptable.”
The premier was speaking in a video message to [an] event on violence against women (Non più sole — La drammatica attualità della violenza contro le donne) at the Lower House.
