Swedes Do It Better

Yes, Sweden does it better. The data speaks for itself: fewer crimes rooted in domination, more mutual respect, and greater social equality.

The secret? A comprehensive, science-based sex and relationship education, introduced in schools as early as 1955, led by trained professionals and woven into the fabric of young people’s development. In Italy, by contrast, we remain stuck in a patriarchal mindset—where ignorance breeds inequality, fear, violence, and femicide. This book compares the Swedish and Italian models, showing that a different future isn’t just necessary—it’s possible. A future that’s more aware, more equal, and more free. With both irony and affection for an Italy still clinging to “traditional roles”, the author calls for change. Because the path forward exists—and Sweden has already shown us the way: start with education, from early childhood, to build healthier relationships and a fairer society.
