At Two-Year Mark, Gino Cecchettin Tells Parliament Affective Education Protects, Not Endangers

He urges far greater institutional support for anti-violence services.

Overview

  • Testifying to the parliamentary femicide inquiry, Cecchettin said schools must teach affectivity as a protective measure against gender violence.
  • He warned that classrooms that avoid respect, equality and consent leave students vulnerable to toxic social models.
  • He highlighted his foundation’s work with Differenza Donna, which has opened a new anti-violence center in Rome.
  • He pressed for major public investment in victim services, citing a State–Regions report that Italy needs roughly ten times more centers.
  • He rejected calls for harsher penalties, noting Filippo Turetta is already serving a life sentence, and described gender violence as a structural cultural problem.
