2 million euros from the Piedmont Region against gender violence (October 2026)

On 5 October 2026 the Piedmont Region allocated over 2 million euros against gender violence, with measures for jobs and housing for women victims and for the protection of minors who have witnessed domestic violence.[1][2]

The two measures made available by the Region are worth a combined 2,007,500 euros: 1,788,500 euros implement the national strategic plan against male violence against women, while a further 219,000 euros are earmarked for strengthening women's economic independence through five territorial networks led by anti-violence centres.

Within the 1,788,500 euros of the national plan, 450,000 euros fund up to 15 job-reintegration projects worth 30,000 euros each, and a further 450,000 euros support women's housing independence, with a contribution that can cover up to eight months' rent plus the deposit, through Piedmont's 23 anti-violence centres and the eight social housing agencies of the provincial capitals.

The same plan allocates, for the first time, 284,500 euros to protecting minors who are victims of witnessed violence, for up to five projects, and a further 604,000 euros to prevention, including school projects and initiatives for workplaces and local bodies. [3]

Regional Equal Opportunities councillor Marina Chiarelli said that, according to data from Telefono Rosa Piemonte, 54% of the women assisted have no economic independence. [3]
