(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 19 - Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi
said a meeting was scheduled to be held later on Tuesday at
Palazzo Chigi to discuss the use of the electronic bracelet
monitoring system to fight violence against women.
Addressing the presentation of the 'No excuse' campaign against
gender-based violence at Rome's Luiss University, Piantedosi
said, "as of November 15 this year, 10,458 electronic bracelets
are active, 4,677 against stalking.
"Clearly, managing such a high number of bracelets is a major
commitment for police forces", highlighting "undeniable problems
in the monitoring system", he noted.
The interior minister said the "theme will be examined at a
meeting to be held today at Palazzo Chigi". (ANSA).
