That Legislative Decree No. 1350 - Legislative Decree on Migration - establishes in its Preliminary Title the Principle of Comprehensiveness by which the State promotes the comprehensive treatment of the migratory phenomenon in consideration of its complexity and cross-cutting impacts, which require an intersectoral, multidimensional and co-responsibility response.

Economic behavior

We know little about the dynamics of teen dating relationships; but what we do know is that what happens in adolescence, including intimate partner violence, can have devastating consequences in their lives now and in the future.

Social norms also discourage third parties from intervening when a couple is experiencing situations of excessive control or violence, which contributes to the couple's failure to seek help and their isolation from their support networks. Other risk factors identified are limited access to sexual and reproductive health services, unequal power relations within the couple, social isolation, lack of family members or caregivers to turn to, and having suffered violence in childhood.

In this context, it is disconcerting to learn from research that while most adolescents aspire to relationships based on trust, respect and love, they have no guidance to achieve this. Opportunities to learn and critically reflect on their sexual and reproductive rights, gender equality, interpersonal communication skills, and self-efficacy, which would help them recognize their own preferences and desires, and communicate them to their partners assertively and without aggression, are scarce. They also do not receive comprehensive sexuality education to be able to navigate their first relationships in a consensual, safe and non-coercive manner.
