In Morocco, the new family legislation launched by Parliament in 2004 should have changed the state of Moroccan women. In fact, as explained by Kenza Sefrioui of the weekly magazine Le Journal hebdomadaire, "the legislation is not enforced, there are no information campaigns in the countryside, and there are still some old laws that are in contrast with the new legislation". In Spain, the number of women murdered at home is increasing: 70 in 2007 alone. Lourdes Vital of the magazine Afkar/idées said: "A lot is being said right now about "reforming" violent men through specific schemes: "But the associations are against it, because many choose these reform schemes as an alternative to prison but they do not really want to change". As to Italy, Stefanella Campana, a journalist for La Stampa, conducted a survey of "women and mafia" which revealed contradictions between those who "choose to fight against" and others who "accept to play a proactive role in crime for power and money, applying the same reasoning as men". What happened in the Romany camp of Ponticelli, as shown by many TV reportages, with the local women burning the books of the Romany children, is a "terrible example of the way these facts are only covered as news, without taking any distance from them or investigating them. Information in Italy is awfully deteriorating".
