While the murder of a university student woman by her ex-boyfriend brought the issue of violence against women to the agenda in Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni promised to increase protection and raise public awareness.
The body of Giulia Cecchettin, 22, from a small town near Venice, was found on Saturday dumped by a lake with multiple stab wounds. Cecchettin had been missing for a week after going out with her ex-boyfriend Filippo Turetta.
