DiRe - Women online against violence

To date, a group of 87 organizations in Italy, which manage 106 anti-violence centers and more than 60 shelters, listening to approximately 21 thousand women every year.

D. i.Re – Women on the Net against violence was formally established on 29 September 2008, after 30 years of informal activity on the national territory among non-institutional anti-violence centers managed by women.

The National Association bases its work on the experience of local realities and has the aim of building a national political action that can promote the fundamental cultural change to combat and overcome male violence against women.

DiRe 's actions are aimed at making the phenomenon of male violence against women visible, changing society's perception of its extent and gravity to place it among crimes against humanity, through:

  • actions for the visibility of the methodology and activity of the anti-violence centers present on the national territory,
  • initiatives to spread awareness of the phenomenon of violence,
  • research projects, with a view to reflection on experiences and continuous and widespread training for the Centers and for the territory.

The national association DiRe is an interlocutor for national and international institutions, also for the development or modification of legislation relating to women's rights, drawing on its wealth of knowledge, processing and experience acquired over many years by the anti-violence centres.
