twighead said: There's no mention of them even being immigrants, the perps and victim were all Peruvian - one already returned to Peru - so maybe it's not necessary to reiterate all the immigration destroying the woooooorld BS 
The being referred to as Peruvian made me take it as immigrants, my error took the return as a fleeing back to a home country after facing oppression in Europe appears my interpretive lens was all kinds of off 
but my concern with it was moreso the potential of the justice system of Western countries failing immigrants/foreignors who hoped for a better life or better social representation which is where the honor killings matter was notable to me to include -- it does not strike me as great to have legal precedent that is potentially exploitable by particular traditions even if it is not made to have been in accordance with them but apparently is the reality in how Italian law is presently handled
wonder if she feels any safer back in Peru tho
Quote: LIMA, Peru — During the Miss Peru pageant last year, a contestant, Alessandra Bonelli, said on television that her personal trainer had sedated and raped her in 2015.
Ms. Bonelli reported the attack but said in a recent interview that investigators “made me feel guilty for what happened.” She said she had voluntarily accepted a glass of whiskey that, without her knowledge, contained a muscle relaxant.
Making matters worse, it took two years to complete a DNA test on her underwear, according to documents filed in the case. The tests showed that the semen on the garment was almost undoubtedly the trainer’s and the case is now pending.
“Most people here don’t even try to pursue their own cases,” said Ms. Bonelli, 26, adding that the stress had left her reliant on sleeping pills for a long time and unable to work for a year and a half. “They know it’s a lost cause and lost time.”
Quote: Since 2009, the number of men accused of killing women has quadrupled, according to government statistics. In 85 percent of those cases, the victim was a current or former wife, girlfriend or partner.
Last month, according to the authorities, a man named Carlos Hualpa followed a former colleague, Eyvi Ágreda, on to a public bus and doused her with gasoline that he had concealed in a yogurt container, then set her on fire. More than half of her body was burned, and she remains in intensive care.
Mr. Hualpa’s lawyer told reporters that his client had become infatuated with Ms. Ágreda but “she was not paying attention to him.”
Quote: Social norms have yet to catch up with the legal standards, advocates say. Last year, a congresswoman, Maritza García, was forced to resign from her position leading a legislative committee on women and families after saying women “sometimes give men the opportunity” to kill them.
“Many times, you can have an aggressor who is acting totally normal and, suddenly, the woman makes him flip out by telling him: ‘I’m leaving you’ or ‘I’m cheating on you,’” Ms. García said. “Those phrases should never be said by a woman.”
Quote: One of the most notorious cases of sexual violence in recent years was in 2015 when Adriano Pozo was recorded attacking his girlfriend at the time, Arlette Contreras, at a hotel after a birthday party.
“I’m going to make love to you,” he told her, according to court papers. When she refused, he said, “Then I will rape you.”
At that point, Mr. Pozo pushed her to the floor, according to the court records. He choked her as she tried to resist, a medical report found. He allegedly threatened to kill her.
Ms. Contreras, a young lawyer, managed to escape from the hotel room. But Mr. Pozo, who was naked, chased her down to the lobby while being recorded by multiple security cameras.
At one point, Mr. Pozo dragged Ms. Contreras by her hair as a hotel worker tried to intervene.
Mr. Pozo’s lawyer, Juan Carlos Portugal, denied the death threat and said his client, too, was hurt.
“In our opinion, this is a domestic matter involving infidelity, the details of which I cannot reveal for reasons of gentlemanliness,” he said. “Dragging her doesn’t mean he’s going to kill her, punching her doesn’t mean he’s going to kill her.”
When Mr. Pozo, the son of a City Council member in the Andean city of Ayacucho, where the attack occurred, was arrested, he was recorded on a video telling the police, “Do you know who my father is?”
At trial, a panel of three judges, two of them men, concluded that they “had not observed in the accused hatred or rancor toward women.”
Quote: On appeal, two other judges, a man and a woman, also acquitted Mr. Pozo. They cited a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and said Mr. Pozo was “not capable of raping or attacking other people.”
“If in my case I can’t find justice, I don’t want to even imagine what happens behind closed doors, in a dark room with no witnesses or cameras,” Ms. Contreras said.
Last year, Ms. Contreras was presented with an award by Melania Trump, the first lady, and named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. But at home in Ayacucho, she faced harassment. She moved to Lima, the capital, and even now dyes her hair different colors to avoid being recognized.

it kind of makes me wonder how the victim of a crime in Italy is going to be treated back at home if her identity becomes notorious for associations with international news
Quote: Beauty pageants regularly attract criticism over being highly sexist in the way they portray females' bodies - but it appears not in Peru.
Instead of talking about their body measurements, Miss Peru 2018 participants on October 29 have highlighted statistics detailing violence against women in a bid to send out a powerful message to those watching the televised event.
The 23 contestants — all vying for the title and the chance to take part in the Miss Universe competition in Las Vegas this month — gave out a roll call of disturbing data on crimes against women in their own country.
One revealed how a girl dies every 10 minutes due to sexual exploitation while another revealed more than 70 percent of women in Peru are victims of street harassment.
Quote: 150 participants had registered for the competition and five had been victims of violence themselves, including rape.
