Livorno: Anti-violence November, a month of events to raise awareness on the issue of violence against women

Il 25 November, International day for the elimination of violence against women, represents an opportunity to intensify awareness-raising initiatives, to create moments of collective reflection and information, increasing the level of awareness on issues related to gender violence, giving voice to those who have experienced violence, providing visibility to all services supporting victims and also acting with a view to prevention through the active involvement of citizens.

The Municipality of Livorno organizes every year the “Anti-violence November”, a calendar of initiatives promoted by the Administration in close synergy with all the subjects of the Anti-Violence Network and with the Associations that collaborate with the Administration, for the management of the Women's Center. Throughout the month, themes and problems of male violence against women will be addressed, through professional development seminars, book presentations, meetings, events and exhibitions: in a city that turns orange to remember what Gender-based violence affects society across the board, regardless of social, economic and cultural background and manifests itself in many forms and each of them represents a violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms, as recognised and enshrined in the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention).

Among the many initiatives, it is worth mentioning the Presentation of the anti-violence network to be held on 26th November al Natural History Museum.

All the details of the program are on the website of the Municipality of Livorno on the page “November Anti-violence”, reachable clicking here.
