D.i.Re Donne in Rete contro la
violenza- D.i.Re Italian national NGO
of 60 Centers/Shelters
D.i.Re was found in 2008, after 20 years of
informal network and activity of many
Italian women’s centers/shelters rooted in
the femminist movement.
It is the first and unique umbrella
association of currently 60 women’s
Centers (with about 30shelters) all over
Italy, run by women’s NGOs.
D.i.Re acts politically with the aim to
bring a cultural change on the problem
of violence against women which D.i.Re
sees as an expression of the inequality
of power between man and women in a
typical patriarcal system.
D.i.Re has not direct services for women
but supports its members NGOs.
D.i.Re raises awareness on and prevents
gender violence, organizing all sorts of
campaigns, participating at local
networks, training all sorts of
private/public professionals in the
social-, health-, judicial- and
educational sector and police forces.
All activities of D.i.Re are on a
volontary basis : DiRe is fund only by
memberships!
ITALIAN SITUATION ON VAW
 Till 2008 Italy had no NAP and the only
one is not effective!
 For the first time in 2007 Italy
quantified with a serious national
survey the phenomenon of violence
against women
 In Italy every 2,5-3 days 1 woman gets
killed by an IP or an ex-IP.
 Only very few Shelters manage to
offer refuge (ca. 500 places, 1 for
140.000 instead of the 1:10.000
recommended by the C.o.E.) .
 Central Government has never
guaranteed any financial support to
Centers/Shelters fighting VAW.
ITALIAN SITUATION ON VAW
 Therefore members of D.i.Re vary
in their dimension and financial
strength: from shelters (ca. 30)
working only on a voluntary basis,
to others (few) with up to 10/more
paid workers, but always “on
time”, depending on local
government sensitiveness to the
problem.
 With Italian crisis funds to local
Governments are cut, so many
Shelters risk to close down.
Centers/Shelters in Italy
In Italy there are 130 Antiviolenza Centers
(about 40 with Shelter)
99 are run by women’s NGO
The others are run by public institution or
other private bodies
In total only 500 places in Shelters (on 60
million)
Women helped by Shelters D.i.Re in 2011
- 13.337 women
- 68% Italian
- 89,8% victim of DV
- 20,8% victims of former partner

Funds for Centers/Shelters of D.i.Re
Only very few have enough public funds.
The main part of D.i.Re members has no secure funds, only some private
sponsors or unstable local government funds on specific projects .
UNITED NATIONS on ITALY
The UN Special Rapporteur Rashida
Manjoo, called in 2011 upon the Italian
State to respect, fulfill and implement
the Concluding observations of the
Committee on the Elimination of
Discrimination against Women, such
as to exercise its due diligence
obligations with regard to violence
against women, to prevent,
investigate, prosecute, punish and
compensate for violence against
women as well as provide services for
women survivors of VAW including
