The stereotypical nature of society serves as the foundation for gender discrimination against women, hindering the attainment of equal opportunities and impeding the complete emancipation of women from men. Verbal and written communication plays a fundamental role in perpetuating gender stereotypes. The words and how they are used can influence the perception and treatment of women in society. The importance of language in the context of gender discrimination emphasizes the need to carefully examine how words contribute to the construction of harmful stereotypes and how they can be consciously used to promote positive change. Additionally, these stereotypes constitute a primary catalyst for gender-based violence against women. In this context, delving into the study of gender role stereotypes becomes synonymous with investigating the roots of violence, understanding how it persists, and identifying the challenges that impede efforts to eradicate it. This paper aims to explore the sources employed by Istat to delve into the framework that underlies gender discrimination and other related aspects. Adopting a multi-source approach, the study utilizes data from population surveys and big data to focus on discerning the key determinants of stereotypes. The ultimate goal is to identify strategies to combat these stereotypes and address gender-based violence effectively.
