L’indagine

Roma, 5 maggio 2020

OGGETTO: Disponibili i primi risultati dell’indagine “I centri antiviolenza ai tempi del coronavirus”, a cura di Progetto ViVa

promossa dal progetto ViVa

Si è conclusa lunedì 4 maggio 2020 l’indagine “I centri antiviolenza ai tempi del coronavirus” predisposta e realizzata dal progetto ViVa” e rivolta ai Centri antiviolenza attivi sul territorio italiano.

“Con questa indagine abbiamo voluto far emergere le principali criticità che i centri antiviolenza si si sono trovati a dover affrontare nella cosiddetta Fase 1 dell’emergenza sanitaria legata alla diffusione del COVID19, dando spazio anche alle strategie da loro adottate per farvi fronte” spiega Maura Misiti, Responsabile del progetto ViVa, che aggiunge: “Ringraziamo calorosamente tutte le responsabili e le operatrici dei centri antiviolenza che hanno trovato il tempo ed il modo, pur nella difficoltà del lavoro quotidiano al fianco delle donne vittime di violenza, di rispondere al nostro questionario”.

L’indagine ha coinvolto i 335 centri antiviolenza che avevano già partecipato all’ indagine realizzata nel 2018 e riferita al 2017, di cui 253 rilevati da ISTAT in quanto aderenti ai requisiti dell’Intesa Stato-Regioni e pertanto accreditati dalle Regioni, e 82 identificati dal CNR. Tra questi, 7 hanno comunicato di aver cessato nel frattempo le attività. Tra i restanti, 228 hanno risposto al questionario “I centri antiviolenza ai tempi del coronavirus” (tasso di copertura pari al 69%).

Secondo quanto emerso dall’indagine, nel periodo dell’emergenza sanitaria legata all’epidemia di COVID-19 i centri antiviolenza hanno lavorato prevalentemente in remoto e sono stati accessibili solo in casi particolari (57%): il 32% dei centri, infatti, non è stato aperto al pubblico e ha lavorato in remoto, mentre solo il 5,7% afferma di essere rimasto fisicamente accessibile alle donne come prima dell’emergenza sanitaria.
Nei centri che hanno consentito l’accesso alle donne, le operatrici hanno adottato diversi accorgimenti (spesso più di uno) per fronteggiare l’emergenza e tutelare la loro salute e quella delle donne. In particolare, nel 62% dei centri sono state impiegate mascherine protettive, nel 57% erano inoltre disponibili guanti monouso e nel 36% è stata effettuata una sanificazione degli ambienti. Solo il 3% afferma di non aver potuto adottare nessuno dei precedenti accorgimenti.

Molti centri (78%) affermano di aver registrato una flessione nel numero di nuovi contatti in seguito all’introduzione delle misure di contenimento, mentre solo una parte (18%) non ha osservato variazioni.
La flessione appare particolarmente critica, dal momento che il numero dei nuovi contatti è diminuito di circa la metà: se infatti prima dell’emergenza ogni centro contava in media 5,4 nuovi contatti a settimana, durante il periodo dell’emergenza questi sono scesi a 2,8 per centro.

Per quanto riguarda i rapporti con le donne che avevano già iniziato un percorso di uscita dalla violenza prima dell’emergenza sanitaria, il 38% dei centri ha dichiarato che essi sono diminuiti, il 20% che sono aumentati, mentre il 42% dei centri afferma che sono rimasti invariati.
Le misure di contenimento e contrasto al COVID-19 hanno comportato maggiori difficoltà nella gestione del lavoro quotidiano dei centri in relazione con la Rete Territoriale Antiviolenza e gli altri servizi territoriali. Nonostante queste difficoltà, tuttavia, circa la metà dei centri antiviolenza afferma di non aver registrato variazioni nell’intensità delle relazioni con i servizi sociali comunali, le forze dell’ordine e le questure.
Rispetto agli altri servizi specializzati di supporto alle donne vittime di violenza, i rapporti sono aumentati o rimasti tutt’al più invariati: il 21% dei centri afferma infatti di aver potenziato le relazioni con gli altri centri antiviolenza e il 22% quelle con le strutture di ospitalità, mentre esse sono rimaste invariate rispettivamente per il 59% e 50% dei centri.
Ha subito significative diminuzioni o è stato addirittura interrotto, invece, il rapporto con gli ospedali (53%) e con i tribunali ordinari (53%) e minorili (48%), che hanno sospeso le loro attività.

L’indagine ha inoltre sottoposto al giudizio dei centri alcuni degli interventi promossi a livello centrale per far fronte alle maggiori difficoltà poste dal periodo di emergenza alle donne vittime di violenza e alle operatrici.

Il 66% ha espresso il proprio gradimento per la campagna social “Libera puoi”, promossa dal Dipartimento per le pari opportunità con l’obiettivo di pubblicizzare il numero di pubblica utilità 1522 e far conoscere l’ App “1522”, che consente alle donne di chattare con le operatrici e chiedere aiuto e informazioni in sicurezza, senza correre il rischio di essere ascoltate dai loro aggressori.

La stessa percentuale (66%) ha affermato di essere soddisfatta della misura prevista dalla Circolare 21 marzo 2020 del Ministero dell’Interno, in sinergia con la Ministra per le Pari Opportunità e la Famiglia, rivolta a tutti i prefetti per l’individuazione di nuove soluzioni alloggiative, anche di carattere temporaneo, che consentano di offrire l’indispensabile ospitalità alle donne vittime di violenza che, per motivi sanitari, non possono trovare accoglienza nei centri antiviolenza e nelle case rifugio.

Infine, il 71% ha espresso soddisfazione per le misure previste dalla circolare 27 marzo 2020 del Ministro dell’Interno, finalizzata a sensibilizzare le articolazioni territoriali della Polizia di Stato e dell’Arma dei Carabinieri alla problematica della violenza domestica e per favorire l’emersione delle richieste di aiuto delle donne vittime, attraverso tutti gli strumenti normativi, procedimentali e strumentali disponibili.

Attualmente, le ricercatrici e i ricercatori del Progetto Viva sono impegnati nell’elaborazione e nell’analisi statistica dei dati raccolti. I risultati saranno presto resi pubblici attraverso un Policy Brief disponibile sul sito del Progetto Viva e diffusi all’interno della comunità scientifica e tra le operatrici.

COVID19, PER UN APPROCCIO DI GENERE

In questa sezione raccogliamo una selezione di analisi e riflessioni sviluppate sia in Italia che a livello internazionale sull’emergenza generata dalla diffusione del virus Covid-19 e sulle sue conseguenze analizzate con un approccio di genere. I contributi riguardano prevalentemente il tema della violenza contro le donne, gli interventi per contrastarla e per sostenere le donne che la subiscono, ma anche la conciliazione tra tempi per il lavoro e tempi per la cura, il lavoro, la situazione delle migranti e dei soggetti che vivono esperienze di maggior vulnerabilità. Le analisi sono scritte da ricercatrici e ricercatori, attiviste/i, agenzie internazionali, giornaliste/i.

ON THE FRONT LINES OF COVID-19, WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS ARE VITAL FIRST RESPONDERS AS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN SPIKES

UNWomen

27/05/2020

The call came in at 10 p.m.—two hours after the COVID-19 curfew in Bosnia and Herzegovina in March. The caller was noticeably shaken, after being thrown across the room and having her hair ripped out by her ex-husband—all in front of her children, aged 10 and 15. The woman and her children fled and stood outside in T-shirts and slippers until a neighbour offered them shelter. She called the police, but they told her that they wouldn’t bring her ex-husband in or issue a restraining order because they were no longer married. Her next call was to the Centre of Women’s Rights.

HOW COVID-19 HAS AMPLIFIED IMPACTS ON WOMEN & GIRLS

UNWomen

26/05/2020

A profound shock to our societies and economies, the COVID-19 pandemic underscores society’s reliance on women both on the front line and at home, while simultaneously exposing structural inequalities across every sphere, from health to the economy, security to social protection. In times of crisis, when resources are strained and institutional capacity is limited, women and girls face disproportionate impacts with far reaching consequences that are only further amplified in contexts of fragility, conflict, and emergencies. Hard-fought gains for women’s rights are also under threat. Responding to the pandemic is not just about rectifying long-standing inequalities, but also about building a resilient world in the interest of everyone with women at the centre of recovery.

In periodi di crisi come quello che stiamo attraversando le disuguaglianze formali e sostanziali si intensificano e diventano più evidenti. Nel nostro paese come nel resto del mondo, le persone più vulnerabili e fragili, le più emarginate, sono colpite doppiamente perché possono difendersi meno dalla malattia e perché ricevono meno azioni di sostegno essenziali alla loro sopravvivenza

COVID-19 at the intersection of gender & disability – survey

Women Enabled International 

26/05/2020

In March 2020, Women Enabled International (WEI) identi ed a gap in initial global responses to COVID-19: many actors were discussing how to include women and persons with disabilities in the response, but few were considering the unique experiences of women with disabilities and others living at the intersection of gender and disability. At the same time, we were hearing from local advocates that they were distressed about the situations in their countries and had concerns about the impact of this crisis on women with disabilities in particular, especially with respect to violence, access to health goods and services, and meeting basic needs. As such, WEI created the WEI COVID-19 Survey (Survey) to better understand these issues and how the lives of women, girls, non-binary, trans, and gender non-conforming persons with disabilities were being impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.

Men & COVID-19: Adding a Gender Lens

Myra Breton, Ann Gottert, Julie Pulerwitz, Dominich Shattuck & Natacha Stevanovic-Fenn

21/05/2020

The proliferation of articles about gender and COVID-19 have focused on the impact on women, such as the enormous burden on women as caregivers and increased rates of domestic violence during home confinement (Gender & Covid-19 Working Group, 2020). These are vital points. However, the global health community must also address men’s risks related to the pandemic, and positively engage men in addressing the challenges women face by addressing gender as a key determinant.

COVID-19: Human development on course to decline this year for the first time since 1990

UNPD

20/05/2020

Global human development – which can be measured as a combination of the world’s education, health and living standards – could decline this year for the first time since the concept was introduced in 1990, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) warned today. (…) With school closures, UNDP estimates of the “effective out-of-school rate”—the percentage of primary school-age children, adjusted to reflect those without Internet access—indicate that 60 per cent of children are not getting an education, leading to global levels not seen since the 1980s.

Women Make Up the Majority of COVID-19 Job Losses in the U.S

FEMINIST NEWSWIRE

19/05/2020

Though they make up only half the U.S. workforce, women make up 55 percent of those currently unemployed due to COVID-19, effectively erasing the gains made in workplace equality since the recession of 2008.
The current unemployment crisis has been deemed a “she-cession” by C. Nicole Mason, president and chief executive of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. The rate of women seeking unemployment is at 15.5 percent, the highest rate since the Bureau of Labor Statistics starting reporting employment data by gender in 1948. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for men is at 13 percent.

Three ways to contain COVID-19’s impact on informal women workers

Rachel Moussié e Silke Staab

18/05/2020

Many developing countries have responded to COVID-19 with travel restrictions, lockdowns and curfews to protect the health of citizens and fragile health systems. But with measures to support livelihoods lagging behind, women and the poor are hit hard. During the Ebola crisis, travel restrictions severely impacted the livelihoods of women traders in West Africa, and while men’s economic activity soon returned to pre-crisis levels, the effects on women’s economic security lasted much longer.

Drug cartels are facing broken supply chains, shrinking revenues, and shifting markets. Rising violence is just one effect. To say that COVID-19 changes everything is already a cliché. But it’s also true. The pandemic is deepening tension between China and the United States, accelerating the digitalization of commerce, and shining a bright light on the inequalities that divide our societies. It is also triggering dramatic knock-on effects in the criminal underworld.

THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON WOMEN – UN SECRETARY-GENERAL POLICY BRIEF

UN Women

09/04/2020
The year 2020, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, was intended to be ground-breaking for gender equality. Instead, with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, even the limited gains made in the past decades are at risk of being rolled back. The pandemic is deepening pre-existing inequalities, exposing vulnerabilities in social, political and economic systems which are in turn amplifying the impacts of the pandemic. Across every sphere, from health to the economy, security to social protection, the impacts of COVID-19 are exacerbated for women and girls simply by virtue of their sex. This policy brief explores how women and girls’ lives are changing in the face of COVID-19, and outlines suggested priority measures to accompany both the immediate response and longer-term recovery effort.

As cities across the world shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19, governments are depending on a set of essential workers to continue to go out and work: to keep the public fed and informed, to care for the sick and vulnerable, and to maintain a clean and safe urban environment, among other critical services.In the global South, many of these workers – such as street and market vendors, newspaper sellers, waste pickers and domestic workers – work in the informal economy

The New York Times

06/04/2020
Movement restrictions aimed to stop the spread of the coronavirus may be making violence in homes more frequent, more severe and more dangerous. Mounting data suggests that domestic abuse is acting like an opportunistic infection, flourishing in the conditions created by the pandemic.

Increased Risk of Trafficking During COVID-19

OscE

03/04/2020

Although the COVID-19 threat is universal, the negative consequences of this crisis will be disproportionally carried by the most vulnerable in our societies. Firstly, victims of trafficking face exceptional danger as entrenched systems of exploitation are thrown into disarray and traffickers seek to maintain their revenue through greater violence or new forms of exploitation.

##Pangea: no a fare del Coronavirus il “nuovo raptus di gelosia”

PANGEA ONLUS

03/04/2020

Simona Lanzoni, vice presidente Fondazione Pangea Onlus e coordinatrice della Rete Reama, afferma che le Regioni devono usare ‘rapidamente’ i margini finanziari che hanno avuto per sostenere i centri antiviolenza e le case rifugio così da fronteggiare le conseguenze dell’emergenza Coronavirus, che ha avuto risvolti drammatici sul già enorme problema della violenza sulle donne. Lanzoni sottolinea anche come sia ‘urgente’ che la commissione Bilancio del Senato approvi il pacchetto di emendamenti al decreto Cura Italia firmato da tutte le componenti della commissione femminicidio, presieduta dalla senatrice Valeria Valente.

India – Covid-19 lockdown. Rise in domestic violence, police apathy.

Jagriti Chandra

02/04/2020

The first week of the nationwide lockdown, which has left many facing job losses, uncertainty over salaries, forced isolation and stressed households, has resulted in a steep rise in violence against women. The National Commission for Women (NCW), which receives complaints from across the country, has recorded a more than twofold rise in gender-based violence

Protection from domestic violence urgently needed for women and children under stay-at-home orders,

OSCE

02/04/2020

Noting a troubling rise in domestic violence in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns and self-isolation guidelines in many countries, OSCE leaders called today for measures to be taken by governments to protect women and children. They said that unfortunately, for them home is not always a safe haven, as they are the most susceptible to abuse and need increased protection in these extraordinary times and urged to ensure that they are kept safe from abusers.

Violence Against Women & Girls & COVID-19 Are BOTH Pandemics

Elahe Amani – MBBI

04/2020

Imagine there was a pandemic that globally impacted close to 1.3 billion women and girls at some point in their lives. Imagine that the economic cost of this pandemic was 25 times more than war and terrorism, and accounted for 4.4 trillion dollars (5.2 of global GDP). Imagine the lack of prevention strategies, and treatment of this pandemic causing the death of more than 50,000 women, 137 women across the world every day. Contrary to the Pandemic of COVID-19, a recent outbreak, this gender-based pandemic is deep-rooted. The name of this pandemic is family violence.

Protecting sexual and reproductive health and rights, and promoting gender equality

UNFPA

marzo/2020

Disease outbreaks affect women and men differently, and pandemics make existing inequalities for women and girls and discrimination of other marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities and those in extreme poverty, worse. This needs to be considered, given the different impacts surrounding detection and access to treatment for women and men.
Women represent 70 percent of the health and social sector workforce globally and special attention should be given to how their work environment may expose them to discrimination, as well as thinking about their sexual and reproductive health and psychosocial needs as frontline health workers.

Pandemics and Violence Against Women and Children

Amber Peterman, Alina Potts, Megan O’Donnell, Kelly Thompson, Niyati Shah, Sabine Oertelt-Prigione, and Nicole van Gelder

04/2020

Times of economic uncertainty, civil unrest, and disaster are linked to a myriad of risk factors for increased violence against women and children (VAW/C). Pandemics are no exception. In fact, the regional or global nature and associated fear and uncertainty associated with pandemics provide an enabling environment that may exacerbate or spark diverse forms of violence. Understanding mechanisms underlying these dynamics are important for crafting policy and program responses to mitigate adverse e ects.

The effect of this public health crisis leading to — and was brought by — the interconnected economic, social and political crisis is becoming clearly evident, and the most marginalised communities are hit the hardest. We have observed the significant lack of access to accurate information, governments’ failure to deliver on their state obligation, including in ensuring transparency or meeting peoples’ basic needs, increased digital surveillance, curfews and lockdown with sweeping measures by military and police forces.

COVID-19, the coronavirus disease that has rapidly spread around the world since it was discovered late last year, appears most deadly among elderly populations and people with pre-existing medical conditions.

COVID-19: the gendered impacts of the outbreak

The Lancet

06/03/2020

Policies and public health efforts have not addressed the gendered impacts of disease outbreaks. The response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) appears no different. We are not aware of any gender analysis of the outbreak by global health institutions or governments in affected countries or in preparedness phases. Recognising the extent to which disease outbreaks affect women and men differently is a fundamental step to understanding the primary and secondary effects of a health emergency on different individuals and communities, and for creating effective, equitable policies and interventions.
