About this listen
The intentional killing of women and girls is now its own crime in Italy.
Lawmakers unanimously backed a bill making femicide a specific crime punishable by life imprisonment.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the measure a tool to "defend the freedom and dignity of every woman".
Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking it looks very much like a symbolic gesture.
She says she’s not sure how you would prove the murder of someone is related to their gender, as opposed to some other factor.
