(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 08 - On Women's Day "a special thought goes to all Ukrainian women who are facing moments of great pain with great courage".
The President of the Senate Elisabetta Alberti Casellati said this in a video message at the conference 'They didn't kill you with dispillo blows.
Grazia Deledda in the intimate secret of the great dream '.
"Grazia Deledda - argues Casellati - has always been considered an extraordinary symbol of redemption, modernity and progress. An example for entire generations of women.
An exhortation to become aware of one's potential and never lower one's head, not even in the face of apparently insurmountable obstacles ". Therefore, remembering the figure is" certainly an opportunity.
An opportunity to renew the awareness of how the path of women's emancipation continues to be an unfinished book with many pages still to be written "because" there are too many discriminations, barriers and prejudices with which, even in our country, many women have to continually confront in every area of their life: from family, to school, to society, to work.
There are too many physical, moral or even verbal violence of which more and more women are victims only as women and often in a context of indifference or incomprehension equally guilty.
"Breaking down all these injustices is a huge job. But it is a job that we must carry out with obstinate determination. And we must do it together. Because history teaches us that when it comes to gender equality, a law is not enough to be able to affirm that a right has been conquered or that a freedom has been assured. It is necessary - the President of the Senate reaffirms - that these rights and this freedom can become part of a common cultural identity. A culture that each of us can contribute to promote, teach and disseminate by any means and every corner of the planet; even just with a book! he concludes. (ANSA).
