According to data provided by the UN, 70 percent of the world's poor are women. women earn 10 percent of total income but are twice as many men as the labor force, produce 80 percent of total income but own only 1 percent of the land, in addition, women are three-quarters of world's illiterate population.
These data, added to the ISTAT who say that 32 percent of women in Italy has undergone during its life, a physical or sexual violence and the leading cause of death from 16 to 44 years is due to violence makes us think that much has been done over the past 60 years but there is still lot of work.
year to commemorate the March 8 + SUN NEVER association has set up a display of silhouettes of women bearing written instances of violence, true stories from across the Piedmont Region of Italy on a project to give voice to women who can not speak.
E 'was a very informative day, which helped us to reflect on this serious problem for the most part hidden in the home.
the morning they attended schools with boys and girls 14/15 years who, after reading the stories written on the shapes, met with psychologists, lawyers and volunteers to talk about different types of violence. Questions have emerged curious, intelligent, who were understand how they were impressed by some situations. - Buried alive, beaten to death - in short, a morning of reflection important.
The afternoon was kicked off the marathon of reading: more than an hour after reading extracts from books, texts of laws protecting women, real stories and, finally, the beautiful poetry of Mother Teresa of Calcutta who incites the woman to never give up even at the end of earthly life. Unfortunately, the cold has put a strain on the resistance of the loops, however, that the sight of all these shapes could not help but stop: one could read the surprise on their faces as they were seeing ... I'm very
satisfied: for many women this year on 8 March was not only a day to celebrate with friends in a pizzeria, but the occasion for a profound reflection on the situation, often dramatic, many of our friends out of fear, shame, loneliness prefer to live in silence these tragedies ... I would say that you CAN emerge from silence 'and the motto of MAI + SUN is to prevent, deter and accommodate, just so that she does not feel maipiusola!
