(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 08 - "We think of the decisive contribution of women in the completely new context of the health emergency.
Divided between home and work, the greatest weight of the crisis has fallen on them. They have been protagonists of a new resistance, fought with the weapons of intelligence, generosity, concreteness and willpower. A decisive contribution, which has not been fully understood and valued when thinking about the recovery of our country ".
It is a passage from the message of the President of the Senate Elisabetta Casellati published on the blog of the Marisa Bellisario Foundation, on the occasion of Women's Day.
"To talk about gender equality today - he adds - it is necessary to recognize, in fact and not only in words, that the female potential is an expression of an economic value, as well as a social one: the human capital of women, who are the spine of the family and of society, worth more than a point of GDP ".
