Minister Valditara’s words confirm the urgency to take to the streets: patriarchy exists, it is not an ideology, and institutional racism is not the answer. The murderer, the violent, the abuser are children of our society and almost always have the keys to the house,” the movement emphasizes. Information about where to find decompression rooms and accessible sanitation facilities has been shared on the movement’s social page. Smartwatch against abuse: how it works In Rome, 21 smartwatches will soon be available to protect female victims of violence. The ‘Mobile Angel’ project becomes operational in the capital, a service resulting from the collaboration between the Carabinieri and Roman clubs of Soroptimist International, fully supported by the Lottomatica Foundation. These are state-of-the-art devices directly connected to the operations center of the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri of Rome and which, worn by victims of stalking or gender violence, can send a call for help. The alarm can not only be activated by the woman, but is also activated automatically in case of aggression, such as a push or if it is pulled from the wrist. The smartwatch is also equipped with a microphone and a geolocation device. The project, presented this morning, comes to life following the signing of a technical protocol in recent months between the Provincial Command of the Carabinieri and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome. It has already launched in other cities, starting with Naples, Turin and Milan. ‘The project, which started back in 2018 in the city of Naples, currently consists of a total of 71 allocated devices. Specifically, there are 15 in the city of Naples, 15 in the city of Milan, 15 in Turin, 5 in Ivrea and, indeed, the 21 in the city of Rome. It first started in Naples, then the initiative was extended to the cities of Milan, Turin and Ivrea and expanded, also and especially thanks to the agreements signed with the respective prosecutors who appreciated the functionality of the device as a method. of combating the phenomenon of gender violence,” Lieutenant Colonel Gennaro Petruzzelli told Adnkronos. ‘In some circumstances, the activation of the alarm system by the offended person has allowed the immediate intervention of the patrol and the quick escape of the stalker. In one case in Milan, he says, it was also possible to arrest a man who had already been removed from the parental home and had been banned from approaching the ex-partner. After presenting himself under the woman’s house to extort money needed for the purchase of drugs, upon refusing, he started shaking her, tearing the smartwatch from her wrist and throwing it on the ground. With the smartwatch motion sensors, the alarm system was inevitably activated, prompting timely intervention by our patrol and the arrest of the individual.”
