Italy to punish femicide with life in prison

Today, Italy's legislature passed a law that will make femicide an offense punishable by life imprisonment. It also passed other measures to bolster prosecution of gender-based offenses. The law is timed to the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The World's Host Carolyn Beeler spoke to Cecilia Sottilotta, an assistant professor of politics at the University for Foreigners of Perugia.
