Protests Erupt Worldwide Following Murder of Italian Student

Suspect Extradited as Italy Approves Measures to Combat Violence Against Women

Massive protests have erupted across Italy and other parts of the world following the murder of 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin, allegedly by her ex-boyfriend Filippo Turetta.
Turetta, who was arrested in Germany, has been extradited to Italy to face charges.
The protests coincide with the UN-designated International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
According to the Italian Interior Ministry, 106 women have been killed in Italy this year, with 55 of these murders allegedly committed by a partner or former partner.
In response to the outcry, the Italian parliament has approved new measures to combat violence against women, including a campaign in schools to address sexism, machismo, and violence.
