Chigi meeting on GPS bracelets, violence against women

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 19 - Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said a meeting was scheduled to be held later on Tuesday at Palazzo Chigi to discuss the use of the electronic bracelet monitoring system to fight violence against women.
    Addressing the presentation of the 'No excuse' campaign against gender-based violence at Rome's Luiss University, Piantedosi said, "as of November 15 this year, 10,458 electronic bracelets are active, 4,677 against stalking.
    "Clearly, managing such a high number of bracelets is a major commitment for police forces", highlighting "undeniable problems in the monitoring system", he noted.
    The interior minister said the "theme will be examined at a meeting to be held today at Palazzo Chigi". (ANSA).
