Raccontare e contare. Perchè? i femminicidi richiedono uno sguardo sociologico

Empirical evidence shows that lethal violence against women is not a random event: it is rooted in relational and territorial contexts marked by persistent inequalities. Public discourse on femicide often focuses on individual, high-profile cases, relying on an emotional register which - though necessary - risks obscuring the structural nature of the phenomenon. A sociological perspective is needed, one that brings together numbers and symbols: that quantifies, but also interrogates cultural codes, power asymmetries, and gender representations. While scientific research increasingly moves in this direction, public rhetoric still struggles to do so. Only through a language that combines structural analysis and symbolic interpretation can we move from indignation to informed public action.
