Protesters used red paint to symbolize the blood of women killed in acts of violence. They pointed out that around 120 women were killed in Italy in 2023, and more than half of these murders were committed by partners or ex-partners. The activist group used the Spanish Steps, a symbol of Rome, to draw attention to this serious issue.
