Orphans of feminicide, Noi Moderati: guaranteeing rights passes through a national database
Among the novelties envisaged by Pdl Carfagna is the introduction of the Single Information Document to overcome bureaucratic and administrative difficulties that hinder or prevent access to the benefits provided for by the rules or often discourage families from accessing them
In the Chamber, in the Social Affairs Committee, the Noi Moderati bill for the establishment of a National Register of Domestic Crimes Orphans (AC 2715) has just been tabled. "It will serve to fill that structural gap" in our legislation that currently "prevents many special orphans from accessing the protections and benefits provided by law," Mara Carfagna, who is the first signatory and rapporteur of the PDL, explains to Parliament 24 Mara Carfagna.
'To date, we do not know how many orphans of feminicide there actually are and this means that in many cases it is impossible to reach them with the support measures that have been introduced over the years by various laws, some of which were signed by me. This register will be a sort of database at the Ministry of the Family that will make it possible to have up-to-date data, verified and shared by all the competent administrations, so as to monitor the actual implementation of the support measures that the law provides for, which to date are fragmentary, uneven precisely because of the absence of an official database'.
A situation, as described by Ms Carfagna, that 'very often leads to inequality in access to benefits or, in some cases, to a total impossibility to access them'. The proposal also envisages, from an operational point of view, the promotion of a unified information document to improve access to the rights of orphans of domestic crimes. This is a practical tool to make those concerned, specifically foster families or guardians, aware of a series of measures provided for by the regulations on children victims of domestic crimes, from scholarships to economic support and the benefits guaranteed by the law.
"This single information document will be made available by the competent authorities and will also often serve to overcome those bureaucratic and administrative difficulties that hinder or prevent access to benefits or often discourage families from accessing them," Carfagna concludes.
