There is a large gender equality gap between Italy and the rest of Europe, and our indicators are worsening. Strong cultural stereotypes characterise our country, where the female employment rate is the lowest in Europe. In addition to this, Italy faces a growing, worrying wave of male violence against women, fierce discrimination against LGBTQI+ people, and a constant struggle for the full recognition of the reproductive rights of Italian women and girls.
