‘My sister was a victim of femicide’ | The Global Story Podcast
In 2023, Giulia Tramontano was murdered by her partner in Milan, Italy. She was seven months pregnant at the time of her death.
137 women and girls around the world are killed by an intimate partner or family member every day. That’s according to the most recent data from the United Nations.
In an effort to curb violence against women, Italy has now become the latest country to adopt a specific law around the murder of a woman – on account of her gender.
Last month, the Italian parliament voted unanimously to introduce this term “femicide” into the country’s legal code.
Now, there’s ample debate about whether this new law will actually change the reality for women – or whether it’s purely symbolic.
Giulia’s sister, Chiara Tramontano, speaks to Asma Khalid from the Global Story Podcast.

A Metropolitan Police detective who was raped by a fellow officer has told the BBC that Scotland Yard’s handling of her case was “like being raped all over again”.
Linda Williams, who has waived her right to anonymity for this exclusive interview, was attacked in 2004 by David Carrick, one of the UK’s most notorious sex offenders who was jailed three years ago for attacking Linda and other women. But she says the Met’s conduct during a subsequent civil case left her feeling suicidal.
In an unprecedented move for a serving officer, she is calling for the Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, to resign, and says she does not trust her own force to handle cases like hers.
The Met has paid tribute to her and says it tried to reduce her distress and re-traumatisation.

Spain is entering three days of mourning after at least 68 people died in a collision between two high-speed trains south of Madrid. Nearly 80 people are in hospital after the disaster.
“Lives have been shattered, families have been torn apart, the pain is immense,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from the crash site in Urda.
Transport Minister Óscar Puente says a computer failure led to the ini0tial halt of six moving trains, including the two trains that subsequently collided.
It is the second deadly rail crash on the same line in a year.
