Starting from the observation that the roots of male violence against women have not yet been affected at deep level, despite the significant action taken on several fronts mainly from the 2000s, the author traces the historical path that enabled the detection of the phenomenon and the forms for contrasting it. In particular, the author describes both the rise of anti-violence Centres, starting from the eighties, and their current dissemination and networking with other agencies with the same aim, and the new way of addressing the problem of "male issue" that focuses on men's violence in their relationships with the opposite sex, including the opening of counselling centres or services for abusive men. The author concludes emphasizing the need for system actions by institutions, supported by economic investments, and, above all, the need to work for cultural changes in the relations between men and women.
Keywords: Gender; male violence; anti-violence centres; male issue; counselling centres; abusive men.
