The government will soon take stringent measures against sexist websites like Phica-eu, which shut itself down amid an outcry from female MPs, actresses and influencers whose pruriently altered images were posted on it without their consent, Family and Equal Opportunities Minister Eugenia Roccella said Thursday.
"We will undertake and strengthen specific initiatives to monitor such situations, report them to the relevant authorities, starting with the judiciary, and identify the most effective tools to combat this third-millennium barbarity." said Roccella regarding the incidents on websites and social media pages that have recently "earned the disgrace of the news." "We will do everything we can," she added, "to further strengthen the action that we, along with the entire Parliament, have been committed to with all our strength since day one."
