(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 25 - Violence against women is a social and cultural plague, Premier Giorgia Meloni said on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women Monday.
    "Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. A day that leads us to remember the news of our days with still many, too many cases of violence and feminicides. A social and cultural plague that does not allow us to look the other way, but that pushes us to reflect and act with every possible action aimed at protecting victims from the abomination of violence", Meloni said on social media.
    "As a Government, since the beginning of our mandate, we have put in place tools for contrast, prevention and safety.
    "A work that must continue in the awareness that the contribution of each of us can make a difference.
    "We must do it in the name of all those who are no longer with us today: mothers, sisters, daughters, friends.
    "1522 is the number to call to talk, report and receive immediate help, at any time.
    "Every voice that is raised against violence is a step towards a safer society, free from fear.
