Italy changes law: Life imprisonment for anyone who kills women

The Italian parliament has passed a law making the murder of women a crime punishable by life imprisonment.

Members of Italy's lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, voted unanimously in favor of the law as the world marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

This came after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government approved a bill in March that for the first time introduced the legal definition of femicide into the country's criminal law and punishes it with life imprisonment.

"I am very pleased with Parliament's approval of the draft law that introduces the crime of femicide," said Meloni.
