INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: EVENTS IN BORGO SAN LORENZO
Flash mobs, exhibitions, shows, the involvement of schools The Councilor for Equal Opportunities Stefania Ciardi presents the program of initiatives of the Municipality of Borgo San Lorenzo on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. A rich calendar of initiatives with inaugurations, exhibitions, shows, in-depth meetings and awareness-raising on the theme of violence against women to keep alive the attention on a phenomenon that even in the last year has caused the death of many women, often killed by the hand of those who said they loved them. A femicide every three days, six million and 788 thousand women who have suffered violence in Italy and among these only a very low percentage filed a complaint. A phenomenon that is a cultural and social emergency and it is essential that the institutions send a strong message of awareness through culture and information, with the support of trade union, cultural, sports and category associations. A very important aggregation of forces all united against all kinds of violence. The initiatives start on November 20, with the lighting of the Town Hall in red and the themed exhibition in the windows of the center curated by the Library, on November 25 multiple appointments from 9.30 until the evening, with shows, exhibitions, conferences for schools and the inauguration of the red bench. On November 27 at 16.00 all citizens are invited to participate in the Flash Mob "Men Against" with an appointment at 16.00 in front of the Municipality, wearing something red; to conclude on 4 December at the meeting center.
