001 - The Italian Hate Crime Bill

Following on from our article about the Zan Bill, we discuss this latest proposal to defend the rights of women, the LGBT community, and the disabled community, and take a look as to why it was rejected by the Italian Senate. We explore further where these intolerances might have come from in society, religion and culture, and how this might impact these communities in the future.

More about the role of women with disabilities in feminism and female physical health will be discussed in our later series coming soon.

Topics discussed include:
             - The Zan Bill
             - the Vatican on homosexuality
             - sexual assault
             - Italian sexual assault legislation
             - hate crime (homophobia, misogyny, ableism)
             - Sergio Mattarella
