Gender-based violence: Perpetrators, victims and models of intervention.

In recent years, public debate has been spurred by issues such as stalking, persecution, domestic violence and homicides, particularly when they involve women. But who are these harassers? Are they really incapable of love, or suffering from relational dependence? The expression “femminicide” has represented an attempt at drawing awareness towards these forms of gender-based violence. Therefore, we must ask ourselves what the true origin of this word is, which occurrences it describes, and what their true significance is. We must also question the punitive actions that have seemed to stir up animosity and transformed the male figure into a disturbing entity. Can the violence that develops between genders be controlled? How are victims and perpetrators of these crimes cured? How should actions directed towards these goals be structured?
