(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 23 – 99 women were killed in Italy between 1 January and 18 November this year, the murders occurred mainly in the central regions, while they decreased in the north and especially in the south. The phenomenon is growing in small municipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants and crimes involving women over 65 are growing: there were 37 in the first 11 months of 2024, equal to 37.4% of the total female victims, killed in the majority of cases by spouse or children. The data comes from the XI Eures Report which records a strong increase in the number of daughters killed, going from 5 to 9, generally in “family massacres” or as collateral victims of violence aimed at targeting the spouse or ex-partner. The number of perpetrators under 25 also increases (from 4 to 12), although, consistently with the dynamics noted for victims, perpetrators over 64 years of age record the highest incidence (27 perpetrators, equal to 27.8% ). The data relating to foreign victims is significant which, in contrast to the Italian ones, is growing sharply, going from 17 to 24, representing a quarter of the total victims (24.2%), with an increase of 41.2%. between 2023 and the first 11 months of 2024. The number of Italian victims decreased by 21.1%, from 95 to 75. The increase in foreign victims accompanies a sharp decrease in feminicide perpetrators of non-Italian nationality, which went from 23 to 16, with a decrease of 30.4%, while the number of Italian perpetrators remains stable (83 in the first 11 months of 2023 and 2024). This means – explain the researchers – that, while 45.8% of femicides with foreign victims are committed by Italian perpetrators, ‘only’ in 4% of cases (3 victims in absolute values) the Italian victims of femicide were excised by a foreign author (a percentage that is sharply decreasing compared to the 13.5% recorded in 2023).
