No. 16 (2017): Escaping gender violence
Issue edited by Filomena Tuccillo
This issue focusing on gender violence is named “Escaping Gender violence”: The image of the cover and the title give a sign of hopeful perspective toward the opportunity of fighting gender violence. Therefore, the first goal is to reflect on the functioning of the love bond and the role of men and women in the couple in today’s society and the needs and feelings at play in relational connections; further aim is then presenting the psychological report on women victims of gender violence and re-education opportunities for violence perpetrators as further tools for social collective awareness that gender violence is hindering women’s and children’s rights which affect their wellbeing. Prostitution and sexual trafficking – “I am not for Sale” is the title of the document which deals with whether prostitution is a form of violence against women or a type of job like any other. This report through international and European statistics, highlights the link between prostitution and trafficking, and the difficulties that countries in which prostitution is legal, have in prosecuting the latter.
