ROME. In a few hours by the announcement by the Government of the “closing” of the Lombardy region and other 14 provinces to fight the emergency Coronavirus, Italy tries to put the fear aside and focus on the importance of 8 march, a festival that each year focuses on women and gender issues, starting from the numbers (133 women killed in 2018, more than 80% of the victim of a known person; Istat data).
Despite the limitations, there are many events throughout Italy that today celebrate the woman and her battles for gender equality. Because it is possible to raise the awareness at a distance. An example for all, #Maipiùinvisibili, the campaign WeWorld Onlus launched to counter the phenomenon of violence against women: the ngo has chosen to focus on the concept of invisibility because invisible are the many women, together with their children, they feel so exhausted hope to disappear, even to stop suffering.
