Abstract
Speaking about gender violence we refer to every act that involve or resemble a physical, sexual or psychological harm or pain inflicted to a woman, including threats. This topic is of social interest and has a negative impact on women’s health. It is evident that we need to arise the awareness of health professionals form a multidisciplinary perspective about this theme. Following this considerations, some teachers of the Università degli Studi di Torino, Degree in Nursing, dedicated an area to this topic in the Venue of Ivrea, creating at the same time a “Didactic Network Versus Violence against Women”. This path leads to the creation of a dedicated conference every year. The objective of this network is to train future nurses to address this delicate issue in a professional manner, empathic and respectful, and help to create awareness among the younger generation, through the activation of a critical thought.
