Abstract
This research will explore Italy's legislative measures against gender-based violence (GBV), examining the roles societal attitudes and international frameworks play in shaping the outcomes. Despite significant legislative efforts, including the ratification of the Istanbul Convention and the introduction of the "Red Code" law, the prevalence of GBV in Italy remains alarmingly high. This study employs a qualitative case study methodology, focusing on Italy to uncover the intricate interplay that shapes gender violence dynamics. The central research question guiding this study is: What factors contribute to the persistence of GBV in Italy despite actions aimed at its eradication? The research synthesizes insights from legal, cultural, and socio-economic perspectives, aiming to contribute to the ongoing discourse on combating GBV. By critically analyzing documents, policy frameworks, and societal responses, this study highlights the complex landscape of GBV in Italy, emphasizing the need for comprehensive cultural interventions and prevention-oriented strategies to challenge deeply entrenched patriarchal norms.
