Alongside women against violence with a carpet of "grandmother's squares".
You stopped off in Fermo, in the Marche region, on the journey of ConadAdriatico members together with the Conad Ets Foundation to support the Viva Vittoria project.
In Piazza del Popolo, this morning a maxi work made with knitted and crocheted knitted squares was installed which covered the entire surface, to raise awareness in the community about gender violence.
The squares, sewn together to make blankets, are the subject of a fundraiser that will finance the Bet Ets Onlus association, the Sant'Anna educational community for minors, the On the Road Social Cooperative and Sagrini Onlus.
The Fermo project, after last year's one in Campobasso, was born thanks to the collaboration of the San Marco Social Center with the Viva Vittoria Odv Association.
It is created with the involvement of local people, who must provide a 50x50 centimeter square to create the installation.
The proceeds go to associations that protect women victims of violence to start self-sufficiency paths.
"The moment a woman is aware of her own value, she automatically becomes the architect of her own existence and is able to produce a change in herself and in society" says one of the founders and president of Viva Vittoria Cristina Begni.
"We are honored to collaborate with Viva Vittoria in Fermo, with an initiative that transforms the city into a living symbol of resistance against violence against women" commented Conad Adriatico CEO Antonio Di Ferdinando
