OpenIndependentCenterFactual 94Objective 878/30/2026A study conducted by economists Carmen Aina, Lavinia Parisi, and Matteo Picchio has explored the correlation between high temperatures and gender-based violence in Italy. The research analyzed data from emergency calls and reports from women’s shelters across 109 Italian provinces over a decade (2013–2022). It found that during weeks where average maximum temperatures exceeded 28°C, requests for assistance increased by approximately 19–21% compared to cooler periods. When temperatures surpassed 30°C, there was a notable rise in cases of femminicidio (murder of women). Researchers caution that these findings should be interpreted carefully due to the rarity of such events but emphasize the potential impact of climate stress on policies aimed at prevention and support. The study highlights how rising global temperatures could exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and conflicts, suggesting a need for adaptive strategies.
