Italy’s parliament has approved a law that introduces femicide (殺害女性)
into the country’s criminal law and punishes it with life in prison.

Tuesday's final vote saw bipartisan support.

The law is backed by the conservative government of Premier Giorgia Meloni.

It comes in response to a series of killings and other violence targeting
women in Italy.

Italy’s statistics agency recorded 106 femicides in 2024, with over half of
them committed by partners (伴侶) or former partners.

The law includes stronger measures against gender-based crimes including
stalking and revenge porn.

While the center-left opposition supported the law in parliament, it stressed
that the government approach only tackles the criminal aspect of the problem
while leaving economic and cultural divides unaddressed.

fear is too favorable (有利) to Moscow on Sunday in Geneva.

(富有成效的), but shared few details on what was discussed.

would change.

He also said any final agreement would need Russia's approval.

on dozens of occasions, including giving up large pieces of territory.
