In the Justice Commission of the Senate the discussion on the direct attribution of the mother's surname to the children will begin on February 15.
The Udi, the Union of Women in Italy, expresses satisfaction, underlining that '' for 40 years women have been asking unheard that their surname not be deleted.
In a time when dignity becomes a political theme, the mother's surname, silenced before being an injustice, appears for what it is: a scandal ''.
For the Udi, '' it's time for truth, for children to bear the marks of those who fathered them and for their name to be a story and not a certificate of ownership.
We want this to be at birth without the need for agreements and concessions between spouses.
We hope that this discussion does not get bogged down in sterile conflicts, in instrumental contrasts, in cunning delays.
Women, today more than ever, have enormous credit to collect. ''
The discussion then starts tomorrow at 2.30 pm in the 2nd Commission (Justice) of the Senate, with the examination of the bills on the direct attribution of the mother's surname to children.
On this issue, Italy, at least among the large countries, is the rear of Europe and no legislative initiative on the surname of children, to give effective dignity to women in the marital and family relationship and to recognize the uniqueness of filiation outside the country. and within marriage,
The first proposal was already presented in 1979 by the Hon.
Magnani Noya of the PSI, and since then "women have been asking unheard that their surname not be deleted".
Iole Natoli, journalist and blogger, who has made the maternal surname a reason for life and commitment is firmly convinced that, wherever it is in force, "the patrilineal surname is the cultural burqa of women".
