November Cultural Events for the International Day against Violence against Women

Culture is once again at the forefront of the elimination of violence against women this year and, in collaboration with the Commission for Equal Opportunities and Civil Rights, promotes a series of events – shows, exhibitions, installations, performances, meetings – many of which are included in the city’s cultural schedule “The Talents of Women”.

“The chronicle tells us how the pandemic has unfortunately accentuated and brought out with even greater evidence the spread of gender-based violence – declared the Councilor for Culture Filippo Del Corno -. In a year in which the city’s cultural programming is dedicated to the multiform talents of women, it is therefore more important than ever to contribute to the battle for the elimination of violence against women, promoting a calendar of initiatives to induce reflection and to root even more deeply that absolute respect that is necessary for the growth of a civil society “.
