"Another aspect in which APG23 finds gender inequality is access to assistance for victims of violence. It turns out, indeed, that deaf women do not have adequate legal and psychological support to be able to report and to be followed in the recovery of their mental integrity. For this reason, they hardly report cases of violence and they are known only in serious cases such as the attempted feminicide. Women are hardly present in the judicial process for investigations as there is no sign language interpreter" (5).

"According also to the APG23 experience, over time women have increasingly taken on the role of “head of family”: in 1990 women breadwinners accounted for 20.2% of households in the country, while in 2017 they were more than doubled, accounting for 42.4% of all households nationally. The last 17 years have seen a sudden increase in this phenomenon . In 2017, in 31.1% of cases the woman is the head of a single-parent family and in 11.3% the woman is the head of a two-parent family" (2).

"Furthermore, according to a study divided by type of head of family in households where the role is covered by women, the percentage of years of education is lower than in households where the head is a man (10.5% if a woman, 11% if a man)" (4). While this is about education, not employment, a difference in education levels between female-headed and male-headed households can have economic implications (ELW - CODER COMMENT).
