Every year, 15,000 women end up in the emergency room due to abuse by a partner, and over 100 are killed in familial or emotional contexts.

These staggering numbers highlight how pervasive the phenomenon is in our country and underscore the urgent need to address it.

To this end, Prima che sia troppo tardi” (“Before It’s Too Late”) was launched—the third study by our INC Non-Profit Lab. Through interviews with Italians and the Third Sector, the research aims to analyze the phenomenon of gender-based violence from a different perspective: possible solutions.

After numerous communication campaigns that were not always effective and response efforts that were not always impactful, a new approach emerges, supported by the majority of respondents: a focus on emotional education and its integration into school curricula. According to Italians, this solution could help address the most deep-rooted and underlying causes of the problem—“before it’s too late.”

 

Research highlights

8 out of 10  Italians clearly perceive gender-based violence as an emergency.

However, the percentage drops to below 40% among males from Generation Z.

 

 

The Third Sector is also aligned: 94% of respondents consider gender-based violence to be a very serious and urgent issue.

91.6% of Italians support awareness campaigns in schools,

with a focus on younger children (ages 5 to 14).

 

 

One solution: emotional education.

 

8 out of 10 Italians believe it should be a school subject.

 

Beyond schools, responsibility also lies with Institutions and professional figures.

Third Sector Entities (ETS) have a clear understanding of the role they aim to take in the realm of emotional education, even more so than the general public
