A protocol of understanding has been signed to combat gender violence, involving various institutions such as the Local Health Authority, courts, prosecutors, and the local office of external criminal enforcement. The service is funded by the regional Department of Family and Social Policies and managed by the Italian Center for Family Mediation.
