This thesis aims to analyze the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence—commonly known as the Istanbul Convention—in the Italian context. Adopted in 2011 and ratified by Italy in 2013, the Convention is the first legally binding instrument at the European level to comprehensively address gender-based violence. The main objective of this research is to assess how Italy has incorporated and applied the Convention’s obligations, with particular attention to the monitoring role played by GREVIO (Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence), the independent body in charge of overseeing the application of the Convention by State parties. The analysis is structured around two main axes: on one hand, it highlights good practices implemented in Italy, such as the adoption of the National Strategic Plan on Male Violence against Women, which marked a key step in the development of coordinated and multisectoral public policies. On the other hand, it focuses on the critical issues raised by GREVIO in its evaluation reports, including the lack of effective coordination among institutional levels, serious shortcomings in the protection of migrant women, asylum seekers and trafficking victims, and the territorial disparities in the availability and quality of anti-violence services. Particular attention is given to three key articles of the Convention: Article 5 (state obligations and due diligence), Article 8 (financial resources), and Article 60 (gender-based asylum claims). The analysis of these provisions, in light of Italian legislation and GREVIO's observations, allows for a reflection on the strengths and weaknesses of Italy’s current system for preventing and combating gender-based violence. Through a qualitative approach based on official sources, international documents, monitoring reports, and national laws, this thesis offers a critical yet constructive overview of Italian policies. It aims to suggest possible pathways to strengthen the State’s commitment to the effective protection of women’s rights, particularly in the most vulnerable contexts.
La presente tesi si propone di analizzare l’attuazione della Convenzione del Consiglio d’Europa sulla prevenzione e la lotta contro la violenza nei confronti delle donne e la violenza domestica, conosciuta come Convenzione di Istanbul, nel contesto italiano. Adottata nel 2011 e ratificata dall’Italia nel 2013, la Convenzione rappresenta il primo strumento giuridicamente vincolante a livello europeo che affronta in maniera globale il fenomeno della violenza di genere. L’obiettivo principale del lavoro è quello di valutare il grado di recepimento e implementazione degli obblighi previsti dalla Convenzione da parte dello Stato italiano, con particolare attenzione al ruolo svolto dal GREVIO (Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence), l’organo indipendente incaricato del monitoraggio. L’analisi si articola in due parti principali: da un lato si mettono in evidenza le buone pratiche adottate dall’Italia, come l’istituzione del Piano strategico nazionale sulla violenza maschile contro le donne, che ha rappresentato un importante passo verso l’adozione di politiche pubbliche coordinate e multisettoriali; dall’altro lato, si analizzano le principali criticità evidenziate dal GREVIO nei suoi rapporti, tra cui spiccano la mancanza di un coordinamento efficace tra i diversi livelli istituzionali, le gravi lacune nella protezione delle donne migranti, richiedenti asilo e vittime di tratta, e la forte disomogeneità territoriale nell’erogazione dei servizi antiviolenza. La tesi si concentra in particolare su tre articoli della Convenzione: l’articolo 5, relativo agli obblighi statali e alla dovuta diligenza, l’articolo 8, che riguarda le risorse finanziarie destinate alle politiche antiviolenza, e l’articolo 60, inerente alle domande di asilo basate sul genere. L’analisi di tali disposizioni, alla luce della normativa italiana e delle osservazioni del GREVIO, consente di riflettere su punti di forza e limiti dell’attuale sistema di prevenzione e contrasto della violenza di genere in Italia. Attraverso un approccio qualitativo, basato su fonti ufficiali, documenti internazionali, rapporti di monitoraggio e normativa nazionale, il lavoro intende offrire un quadro critico ma costruttivo delle politiche italiane, suggerendo possibili direzioni per un rafforzamento dell’impegno dello Stato nella tutela effettiva dei diritti delle donne, soprattutto nei contesti più vulnerabili.

This thesis aims to analyze the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence—commonly known as the Istanbul Convention—in the Italian context.

The main objective of this research is to assess how Italy has incorporated and applied the Convention’s obligations, with particular attention to the monitoring role played by GREVIO (Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence), the independent body in charge of overseeing the application of the Convention by State parties.
