"You can not publish details that identify victims of sexual violence. Especially when it comes to children."
It is the strong appeal of the Guarantor directly to the media following the publication of news agencies, reporting a case of sexual violence in the family of a child, they posted your name and age of the father arrested.
The Guarantor notes that even when these details were provided by official sources, the media have not divulge that may, even indirectly, lead to the identification of victims of sexual violence.
The publication of such details inconsistent with the principles established by the Code of Ethics for journalists and is even more serious if we consider that the victim is a minor person, to which the Italian legislation and international conventions (the Privacy Code, Penal Code, a new child process, the Charter of Treviso , Convention on the Rights of the Child) to give increased protection.
