In November 2019, Schiappa proposed that foreigners convicted of sexual crimes and violence against women would be deported. This proposal was criticised by some feminists who called it "feminationalism" and unequal punishment based on nationality,[13] and also by a legal expert who said that such measures already existed since 1970 for serious crimes including the worst sexual crimes.[14]
