In

Turin

over a hundred women at the demonstration on 8 March organized by 'Non una di less'.

"We are going on strike today because we want to be alive and free", they said in front of the Piedmont Region Building where signs have been placed showing the headlines relating to violence against women and femicides.

"Even certain titles where terms are used that almost justify certain actions - they explained - are acts of violence against women".

The names of the women murdered this year and those of their killers were also written with chalk.

Before arriving in Piazza Castello, a delegation brought solidarity to the workers on strike at the Jakala in Nichelino.

"Striking at this moment is more necessary given the context dictated by the pandemic - explained spokesman for the collective 'Non una di less' - the numbers of violence suffered and femicides are war bulletin. The lockdown has led to an increase in domestic violence. ".

"If we stop, the world stops", they concluded.

The last work of Street Artist Laika

appeared in

Venice

in Calle del Luganegher

who, to celebrate women,

created a work entitled "22% It's Too Much"

to denounce the so-called "Tampon Tax" (the taxation applied on sanitary pads).

"Apparently, menstruation in Italy is a luxury. Keeping the tax on sanitary towels at 22% is a choice that is the daughter of a society that is still too tied to patriarchy. In New Zealand, starting in June, sanitary pads will be offered free of charge in schools to combat menstrual poverty, VAT is 5% in the UK, 5.5% in France and 7% in Germany. What is Italy waiting for? "

declared the artist.

"The sanitary towels are a primary good and cannot be taxed like a Rolex or a BMW - continued Laika - The VAT at 22% 'is too much', we all sign the petition on change.org. VAT at 4%. the signature! ", concluded Laika, inviting the collective signature of the petition.
