Lawmakers in Italy's parliament have voted unanimously to designate femicide – the murder of a woman for reasons linked to her gender – as a separate offence under the criminal code. The measure introduces a mandatory life sentence. It was passed symbolically on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

The reform follows the murder of 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin, killed in November 2023 by her former boyfriend, Filippo Turetta. Her death shocked Italy and renewed the push for legal recognition of femicide. Turetta stabbed her repeatedly, then left her body beside a lake, the BBC reported.

Thousands attended Cecchettin's funeral that winter, turning the tragedy into a national reckoning. Her sister Elena's public statement resonated nationwide. "He was not a monster," she said, describing the killer as "the healthy son of a deeply patriarchal society," the BBC reported. Her comments helped ignite protests calling for structural change.

Two years later, MPs approved the new law after extensive debate. Italy now joins a small group of nations treating femicide as a distinct type of homicide. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni introduced the proposal, which gained support from both the governing coalition and the opposition. Many MPs wore red clothing in tribute to female victims of violence, the BBC reported.

Judge Paola di Nicola, who co-drafted the bill, described its intent to classify and analyze such crimes accurately: "Femicides will be classified, they will be studied in their real context, they will exist." The judge helped review 211 recent murders of women to identify repeat features before finalizing the framework, the BBC reported.

At her home in Rome, di Nicola said, "Talking of such crimes as rooted in exasperated love or strong jealousy is a distortion." She added, "This law means we will be the first in Europe to reveal the real motivation of the perpetrators, which is hierarchy and power." According to the BBC, Italy joins Cyprus, Malta, and Croatia in enshrining a definition of femicide in national law.

The statute covers killings based on "hatred, discrimination, domination, control, or subjugation of a woman as a woman," as well as those occurring when she ends a relationship or seeks independence, the BBC reported. Official data listing 116 murdered women in Italy last year – 106 of them gender-related –will now be classified separately. Future cases judged femicide will automatically draw life terms.

Giulia's father, Gino Cecchettin, told the BBC the legislation may not have saved his daughter, but said dialogue itself matters. "Before, many people especially from the centre and extreme right didn't want to hear the word femicide," he said. "Now this is a world where we can speak about it. That's a little step, but it's a step."

Following his daughter's death, Cecchettin started a foundation promoting education to combat misogyny. He said, "I wanted to understand what had come to [Filippo's] mind. He was a student, a beloved son. Like a normal guy." His research found widespread gender stereotypes and young men unable to process emotions, the BBC reported. He now visits schools across Italy urging respect and better emotional education. "If we give them the right tools," he said, "they will not act as Filippo."

However, efforts to mandate such education face resistance from far-right MPs who prefer optional courses for older students. While the bill enjoys broad backing, some experts question its legal clarity. Law professor Valeria Torre of Foggia University called it a "poisoned meatball." She told the BBC, "There is no lack of protection, no legal gap to fill." Torre argued that determining when gender is the motive will be difficult and that funding equality measures would be more effective.

Other advocates agree that legislation must be paired with wider anti-inequality programs. A new exhibition in Rome, the Museum of the Patriarchy, highlights Italy's gender imbalance, the BBC notes. Italy ranks 85th on the Global Gender Gap Index, with just over half of its women employed.

Fabiana Costantino from Action Aid Italy said, "For us, the way to fight against violence against women is to prevent the violence, and to prevent the violence we have to build equality." One showcase includes catcalls on loudspeakers and a wall projection of murdered women's names. She explained, "We have to destroy the base in order to destroy the problem in its worst form, which is femicide," the BBC reported.

The parliamentary session ended late at night with an address promising that violence against women "will not be tolerated, will not go unpunished." All 237 deputies voted in favor, greeted by applause. Judge di Nicola told the BBC this unity showed "our country has a common political will." She added, "It shows that Italy is finally speaking about violence against women having deep roots."

Iranian judicial authorities announced Tuesday they will not pursue charges against a female student who staged a dramatic protest earlier this month at Tehran University by removing her clothing after reportedly being harassed by morality police over her hijab.

According to the Agence France-Presse, a judiciary spokesperson stated, "She was transported to a hospital, where doctors determined she was ill. She has since been reunited with her family. No legal proceedings have been initiated."

 The incident, which occurred in early November, saw a student take unprecedented action in the religiously conservative nation to protest against the enforcement of strict dress codes. The young woman, following harassment by morality police officers, removed her clothing and voiced anti-government slogans.

Students posting on the university's official Telegram channel reported that the unnamed woman was detained after morality police confronted her about improper hijab wear. Reports indicated she sustained injuries during her arrest, with witnesses saying she suffered head trauma after being forcefully struck, resulting in visible bleeding.

Iraq's parliament is preparing to pass legislation that would lower the legal age of consent from 18 to nine years old, while simultaneously removing women's rights to divorce, child custody, and inheritance, The Telegraph reports.

The amendment, backed by a coalition of conservative Shia Muslim parties, would overturn the country's "personal status law," also known as Law 188, which has been considered among the most progressive women's rights in the Middle East since its introduction in 1959. "The amendment would not just undermine these rights," said Sarah Sanbar, Iraq researcher at Human Rights Watch. "It would erase them."

Iraq is legalizing child marriage and lowering the age of consent to just 9.

Previous attempts to change the law failed in 2014 and 2017 due to backlash from Iraqi women. However, according to experts interviewed by The Telegraph, the coalition now holds a large parliamentary majority and appears poised to succeed. The Iraqi parliament will formally debate the latest amendments before putting them to a vote.

"It's the closest it's ever been. It has more momentum than it's ever had, primarily because of the Shia parties," Dr. Renad Mansour, a senior research fellow at Chatham House, said. The proposed amendment is part of a wider political move by Shia Islamist groups to "consolidate their power" and regain legitimacy. "Stressing the religious side is a way for them to try and regain some of the ideological legitimacy that has been waning over the last few years," he explained.

According to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), approximately 28% of women in Iraq are already married by age 18. A current loophole allows religious leaders to officiate marriages, including those involving girls as young as 15, with paternal permission. These unregistered marriages are particularly widespread in economically poor, ultra-conservative Shia communities. The amendment would legitimize these religious marriages, putting young girls at increased risk of sexual and physical violence. Additionally, these women "will have to stay in harmful situations because they fear losing custody of their children," Sanbar said.

The proposed amendment would also give Muslim citizens the option to choose between the current secular personal status law or religious law based on their sect. However, in dispute cases, the husband's sect would take precedence. "It's explicitly written in the draft that when there's a dispute between the couple, the sect of the husband takes priority," Sanbar said. "This is going to remove a lot of protections for women... it will undermine the principle of equality before the law."

Athraa Al-Hassan, international human rights legal adviser and director of Model Iraqi Woman, expressed fear that Iraq's system of governance could be replaced with the Guardianship of the Jurist – a Shia system placing religious rule above the state. The system is similar to Afghanistan and Iran, where a Guardian Jurist is the supreme leader. "What they aspire to in parliament is not in the interest of society, but their personal interest," Al-Hassan told The Telegraph. "Iraq is a civilized civil state that cannot be otherwise. The first female minister in the Arab countries was Iraqi and the first female judge was Iraqi," said Al-Hassan. "We aspire to progress, not regress."

The action has sparked protests in Baghdad and other cities, organized by Coalition 188, an Iraqi group of female activists opposed to amending the personal status law. The action has sparked an outcry on social media, with women's rights activists accusing the government of trying to "legalize child rape."

A female student has been arrested at Tehran Islamic Azad University after staging a protest against dress code regulations by partially removing her clothing, according to reports from Euronews and Amnesty Iran.

The incident, which was captured on video by other students and widely shared on social media platform X, occurred after security officers allegedly harassed the woman for improper hijab wear. The student, whose identity has not been released, was filmed from a classroom overlooking the campus. The video has garnered significant attention online, with social media users praising the woman's actions as courageous.

Syed Amir Mahjoub, the university's public relations director, said security personnel handed the student over to police authorities. He denied any physical confrontation took place and stated that preliminary investigations suggest the woman was experiencing psychological distress.

Amnesty Iran has called for the student's immediate and unconditional release. In a post on X, the organization demanded she be protected from "torture and other ill-treatment" and granted access to legal representation and family members. The group also urged an investigation into allegations of physical abuse and sexual violence during her arrest.

Emily Schrader, an online activist for the Iranian people, posted on Instagram: "Initial reports indicate that following the protest incident, she was abducted by 4 security forces from the campus and was severely beaten before being dragged into a car and taken to an unknown place. According to an eyewitness, the girl was beat so badly her head hit the door of the car and she was bleeding profusely to the point that traces of blood were seen on the tires of the car."

Some news outlets have reported that intelligence agents arrested the woman and transferred her to an undisclosed location. A local university-affiliated newspaper stated she had been taken to a psychiatric facility.

The Taliban has begun employing female spies to enforce harsh new restrictions on women's behavior in Afghanistan, according to reporting by The Telegraph. These informants are tasked with monitoring social media and patrolling public spaces to catch women violating the regime's strict rules.

"They are needed to handle other women," said an official from the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (MPVPV), the state agency in charge of implementing Islamic law. The ministry has hired women to monitor Instagram pages and report instances where women post pictures with uncovered faces. "You know how Instagram works ... they can hide their pages so no one can see them, but we have women who are our eyes."

Some women are coerced into this role, while others are paid for their work, which also includes accompanying male Taliban members on street patrols. "Some women were arrested and released only on the condition that they inform the ministry of any illegal activity they observe from the women they follow," the official explained.

 One such informant, identified as Golnesa, spends her days monitoring and reporting on her fellow Afghan women. The 36-year-old patrols the city looking for those who do not adhere to the rules of chastity and visits locations to find women violating the dress code.

"I go to busy supermarkets and women's clothing shops," Golnesa told The Telegraph. When she spots a woman with an uncovered face, visible ankles, or laughing with shopkeepers, she contacts male officers who arrive with rifles. "It's their job to handle the situation with these women, and many of them are taken to police stations," she said. Golnesa defends her role, stating, "I don't support women who protest in the streets and claim to represent all women. They don't represent me or many other Muslim women who are tired of seeing indecency."

 However, Dr. Zahra Haqparast, a former protester now based in Germany, condemns the practice. "We always knew that the Taliban would eventually use women against other women," she told The Telegraph. "There were girls who infiltrated our WhatsApp groups posing as activists, and they assisted the Taliban in arresting many of the protesters."

Dr. Haqparast, who lost her job as a dentist when the Taliban returned to power, was herself arrested due to information provided by a female informant. She criticizes women who work for the Taliban, saying, "We protested and sacrificed everything for our fellow women. Yet, some women do everything they can to harm others of the same gender. I can only tell them, shame on you."

Afghanistan's Taliban government has officially codified a comprehensive set of morality rules this week, the Justice Ministry announced. The regulations, which range from requiring women to cover their faces to prohibiting car drivers from playing music, are based on a decree issued by the Taliban's supreme spiritual leader in 2022.

Justice Ministry spokesperson Barakatullah Rasoli confirmed that the 35-article morality law was officially enacted and published on Wednesday after being ratified by Supreme Spiritual Leader Haibatullah Akhundzada. The rules, promoted as being in line with Islamic sharia law, will be enforced by the Ministry for the Prevention of Vice and Propagation of Virtue.

"According to this law, the Ministry is obligated to promote good and forbid evil in accordance with Islamic Sharia," the Justice Ministry said in a statement.

The new regulations mandate that women wear attire fully covering their bodies and faces, while men are prohibited from shaving their beards. Other rules include bans on skipping prayer and religious fasts. Penalties for violations range from verbal warnings to detention for up to three days in public jails.

The Morality Ministry has already been enforcing similar requirements and reports detaining thousands of people for violations. It remains unclear whether the publication of these rules will lead to stricter enforcement.

This move has drawn sharp criticism from rights groups and many foreign governments, claiming this is a further restriction on women's rights and freedom of expression since the Taliban resumed control of Afghanistan in 2021.

"Day by day, they are trying to erase women from society," said Halema, a 37-year-old housewife in Kabul. "The silence of the international community regarding the actions of the Taliban is encouraging them to create new laws and restrictions every day."

Western capitals, led by Washington, have stated that formal recognition of the Taliban government is largely contingent on reversing course on women's rights and reopening high schools to girls. The Taliban, however, maintain that they respect women's rights in accordance with their interpretation of Islamic law and local customs.

The newly codified laws also instruct drivers not to transport women without a male guardian and require media to abide by sharia law, banning the publication of images containing living beings.

Heather Barr, Associate Director of Human Rights Watch's Women's Rights Division, commented on the situation: "A lot of these rules were in place already but less formally, and now they are being formalized. I think this is a sign of what we've been seeing over the last three years which is a steady and gradual escalation of the crackdown."

The morality ministry reported detaining over 13,000 people in the past year for alleged offenses, with approximately half of the detentions lasting 24 hours. The ministry did not provide a breakdown of the alleged offenses or the gender of the detainees.

Since taking control in 2021 as foreign forces withdrew, the Taliban suspended Afghanistan's previous constitution and declared they would rule the country according to sharia law. The Justice Ministry stated that this week's morality laws represent the seventh set of codified laws, with others relating to property, financial services, and the prevention of begging.

According to an article in Asahi Shimbun, a Chinese court has sentenced journalist Huang Xueqin, a prominent figure in the country's nascent #MeToo movement, to five years in prison for the charge of incitement to subvert state authority. This verdict, along with a significant fine of 100,000 yuan (approximately $14,000), underscores the Chinese government's intolerance toward activism outside its control, particularly within a system where the upper echelons remain dominated by men.

According to supporters, Huang's release date is set for September 18, 2026, accounting for her earlier detention in September 2021, just a day before she was scheduled to commence a master's degree program on gender violence and conflict at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom.

Her co-defendant, Wang Jianbing, an activist known for his labor rights advocacy who also assisted women in reporting instances of sexual harassment, received a sentence of three years and six months on the same charge.

Huang played a pivotal role in sparking China's first high-profile #MeToo case in 2018 when she publicized allegations of sexual harassment made by a graduate student against her PhD supervisor at one of the country's most prestigious universities.

Sarah Brooks, Amnesty International's China Director, condemned Huang's conviction, stating, "These convictions will prolong their deeply unjust detention and have a further chilling effect on human rights and social advocacy in a country where activists face increasing state crackdowns. In reality, they have committed no actual crime. Instead, the Chinese government has fabricated excuses to deem their work a threat, and to target them for educating themselves and others about social justice issues such as women's dignity and workers' rights."

The #MeToo movement in China initially gained traction but was promptly suppressed by the government's crackdown on dissent. Huang and Wang's cases seem intertwined with the broader wave of repression against rights advocates, which predates the #MeToo movement and includes previous incidents such as the 2015 detentions of women distributing pamphlets against sexual harassment on public transport.

Following the initial reports of Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister's helicopter crash and up until the official declaration of their death, despite the supreme leader Ali Khamenei's call for prayer and mourning – Iranians are celebrating worldwide. 

Civilians are seen firing celebratory fireworks in Tehran in a recent footage, with one of them saying "Let's celebrate the good news of Ebrahim Raisi's chopper crash," according to Iran International. Many more videos show Iranians cheering in response to the latest news, as well as many social media posts from across the world, celebrating using the hashtag #IranIsHappy.

In response, there are reports of the increasing presence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to prevent a potential uprising, followed by a statement issued by Iran's Cyber Police threatening social media users posting content that contrasts "public emotions," as posted by Iran international on X. 

Iranian-American journalist, author and women's rights activist Masih Alinejad has also expressed her glee, declaring today as "World Helicopter Day." She added this is "the only crash in history where everyone is worried if someone survived," alluding to the Iranian regime's brutal suppression of dissent and extreme violence towards women. 

Back in 2021, Alinejad spoke with Israel Hayom and stated that even then the Iranian society realized their joined enemy is the Regime, saying "I was taught to shout 'Death to Israel, death to America' and today, people are shouting 'Death to the regime.' Now the Iranian people are refusing to trample Israeli and American flags. The citizens of Iran are so brave. Our enemies aren't America and Israel, but the regime."

Jonathan Harounoff, an Israel and Iran journalist and analyst, explained the people's joyous response to Raisi's death: "Aside from being one of the most conservative presidents Iran has ever seen, Raisi rose to prominence in the Islamic Republic through the brutal judicial system where he was a member of the notorious 'Panel of Death,' sending thousands of political prisoners to the gallows. There's a reason why he earned the moniker 'Butcher of Tehran," he said to Iran International. "Widespread bureaucratic corruption, woeful economic mismanagement, sky-high inflation, high unemployment. Not to mention tight censorship and severe punishment or death for political dissent," he added.

For Israel's milestone anniversary, the Jewish women's movement is launching a social media campaign that spotlights women who have integrally shaped Israel over the last 75 years. Momentum, a global movement that inspires Jewish women to connect with Israel and their Jewish values, has launched a year-long campaign highlighting the accomplishments and contributions of eight intrepid Jewish women to celebrate Israel'smilestone 75th anniversary.

Follow Israel Hayom on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

The social media posts on Instagram and Facebook are showcasing highly stylized illustrations of these pioneering figures, including judoka Yael Arad, the first Israeli to win an Olympic medal; noted Israeli scholar and commentator who rekindled broad interest in Bible study, Nehama Leibowitz; Israel's first and only female head of government and the first woman to lead a government in the Middle East, Golda Meir; Zionist leader and founder of Hadassah and the Women's Zionist Organization of America, Henrietta Szold; activist and prominent public figure in the movement to free Soviet Jewry, Avital Sharansky, who fought for the release of her husband Natan Sharansky; Rita, one of Israel's most iconic singers; Alice Miller; who broke the glass ceiling for women serving in the IDF as pilots, and Dr. Miriam Adelson an influential and visionary philanthropist who is one of the world's best-known supporters of Jewish causes.

The campaign illustrates how these women have been integral in shaping Israel over the last 75 years. Israeli women have changed the face of Israel. From Avital Sharansky being a key figure responsible for liberating Jews stuck behind the Iron Curtain, to Rita singing moving songs in her native Farsi that have shown the world – and even Iran –the cultural diversity of Israel, to Dr. Miriam Adelson's inspiring broad support for Israel and the Jewish community through philanthropy, to Golda Meir blazing the trail for the female political leaders who have followed her, these women are not only examples of Israel's inclusivity but are responsible for helping shape the entire country and its global impact.

Momentum will share the campaign across its social media channels as well as integrate it into its immersive in-person experiences like the Momentum Fellowship and the Momentum Yearlong Journey. During the Momentum Yearlong Journey, which begins with an eight-day trip to Israel, participants are encouraged to walk in these figures' footsteps, learn from their accomplishments and understand how they, too, can be agents of change. The organization will post about a new figure every month, with the launch taking place on Yom Haatzmaut, Israel's Independence Day.

"Despite the many obstacles women have faced over the course of history, we've continued to be trailblazers in a myriad of disciplines," said Lori Palatnik, Momentum's Founding Director. "With this campaign, we hope women will be able to recognize aspects of themselves. Each one of us has the ability to lead, guide, and contribute. We sometimes just need a little inspiration. And what better way to get that, than through women who have lived their lives based on Jewish values? We believe that a world that empowers women is beneficial to all." Also taking place this month, Momentum will kick off its 2023 immersive trips to Israel, with about 600 women from 12 countries including France, Argentina, and Spain. And, coming in May is their first-of-its-kind exclusive French trip in partnership with the Jewish Agency for Israel.

The yearlong social media campaign builds on Momentum's growing foray into the digital world. Last year it launched Yomm, the first mobile app exclusively tailored for Jewish women, in an effort to create the world's largest social network. Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism handpicked Momentum to establish Yomm, understanding that Momentum'ssubstantial reach and diverse network of more than 20,000 Jewish women from 35 countries make the organization the ideal partner for cultivating a global Jewish sisterhood. With its undisputed expertise in profound Jewish learning experiences, Momentum is uniquely situated to expand into the digital space. Founded in 2009, Momentum's four central goals are connecting to Jewish values, engaging with Israel, taking action, and fostering unity without uniformity.

A woman in Iran has been arrested after a video of her knocking the turban of a mullah in the country was published by opponents of the ayatollah regime online. The woman appears to have confronted the man after he hit her with his cane and demanded she fix her head covering.

In video of the incident, which transpited in the Iranian city of Qom, one of the holiest cities in Shiiite Islam, the woman can be seen tussling with the man, knocking off his turban and stomping on it in anger. She is then seen chasing off another religious man who tries to intervene. 

The woman was arrested by Iran's morality police, who enforce legislation requiring head coverings for women in public places, after the video was shared online.

Iranian-American political and women's rights activist Masih Alinejad wrote on her My Stealthy Freedom Facebook page, where Iranian women share images of themselves without hair coverings in an effort to effect change: "An Iranian woman used her right of self-defense against a mullah who hit her with his stick and told her to fix her headscarf. Conclusion; mullah and turban put in their place.
