Objectives and goals
The Association affirms that these themes should concern the entire society and that it should be of extreme importance to find appropriate spaces and time to give voice to this issue, in terms of prevention.
In order to respond to this priority purpose, then, it suggests sensibilisation activities to high schools, specifically explained below, addressed to secondary school classes for the prevention of gender violence.
This project has the purpose to strengthen reactions, analysis and proposals, which can be used as guidelines for the female world, often too fragmented, and insicure, in order to make women more confident about their ideas and thoughts.
The aim of initiatives and meetings is to always put focus on the phenomenon of any kind of violence against women, attempting to create the basis for the construction of a series of projects and initiatives, aiming to contrast any sort of abuse on women.
What constitues a real reaction against violence is the educative and cultural initiative. This means creating forms of contrast to any sort of abuse, searching for the maximum spreading and dialogue.
The prize is to be awarded to Women who represent exemplary female models for the positive values they embody.
Experiences that raise the awareness of the great and professional richness that women keep on offering, wherever they find themselves: witnesses, stories, situations.
Women subjected to the dominant power but ready and determined to hold on, in every fiel, certain to have new knowledge, new values and new positions to carry out:
Stories of engagement, solidarity, loyalty to themselves and to their own ideals;
Stories, sometimes about harsh suffering, but also of great joy, because of helping others, the weakest ones, attending peace and freedom;
Women of different nationalities, social and cultural origin but commonly sharing their passion, bravery and determination.
Getting to know their daily civil and social engagement, discovering a world, often hidden, unknown, silent, but so alive. Listening to their experiences, knowing their story, it's both a reason of pride and a stimulation to look at injustice and abuses more carefully, willing to action.
Protagonists who have marked contemporary history in many fields, through their actions. their work, their activities, meet in order to exchange their present and their recent past, their commitment and the spreading of a strong message of peace, solidarity and social and civil engagement.
