Father of femicide victim Giulia: 'Harsher penalties won't bring her back'

Gino Cecchettin, father of femicide victim Giulia, advocates for emotional education rather than harsher penalties after his daughter's murder. He emphasizes the need for prevention and emotional support for young people, believing that addressing toxic masculinity is crucial. Giulia's death sparked nationwide protests against violence towards women in Italy, highlighting the societal issues surrounding femicide. Cecchettin's foundation promotes emotional and relational education in schools, aiming to help youth process their emotions. However, his views face political backlash, with some accusing him of promoting a 'feminist education' agenda. Despite the challenges, Cecchettin remains committed to his mission, focusing on the importance of emotional well-being for future generations.
