Gender equality, education to respect. Now in its ninth edition, the Narrating Equality International Children's Literature Award, organized since 2012 by the WOMAN TO BE social promotion association, launches a challenge to those who love writing for children: that of creating #stories free from gender stereotypes who offer girls (3-8 years) alternative models of femininity and masculinity that are more balanced and respectful of personal rights. The inspiring principles of the #award can be extrapolated from the Polite self-regulation code, which was formulated at the beginning of 2000 and signed by the AIE (Italian Publishers Association) as part of the European Polite project (Equal opportunities in textbooks). The Code outlines some guidelines for school publishing houses, so that textbooks are attentive to the topic of gender identity and free from sexist #prejudices. Narrating Equality welcomes unpublished stories in Italian, English or Spanish. The deadline for submitting stories is June 8th.

At this point #Gemels asks itself: is it really necessary that women have to choose between their professional ambitions and motherhood? 👪 Today Gemels decided to analize a critical point of our country.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲 👉 One in two women do not work. They say it's a skills problem, but the number of Italian female college graduates exceeds that of male college graduates. 140 women hold a college degree for every 100 men. 👉 Yet more than a quarter of women in Italy (27.2%) are precarious and/or cannot find full-time work. 👉 Women earn an average of 20% less than men and have more difficulty growing professionally. Women CEOs in Italy in 2022 were only 3% and those at the head of a CDA were 15%. 👉 The ISTAT (The Italian National Institute of Statistics) says 2,277,000 women are living in poverty in our country, more numerous - in absolute terms - than minors, young people, and the elderly. 👉 Having a female premier is not enough to close the gap in women's representation. In the Chamber, there are 129 women out of 400 seats. In the Senate, there are 71 out of 206. Out of 23 ministers, only 6 are women. 👉 In the 2023 Global Gender Gap report, Italy ranks 79th out of 146 countries. 📣 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝟮𝟭𝟱𝟰. ✋ And so, it's a celebration is a struggle, 365 days a year. #internationalwomensday2024 #InspireInclusion #IWD24 #IWD #8March Thanks, Cathy La Torre ⤵

👠 A red heel in hand to break a wall. A powerful symbol representing the strength and determination to shatter barriers. Hundreds of women face a similar wall at the end of a challenging journey, a labyrinth that is the path of society. 🎥 Recently, I watched Tim's ad, 'Equality Can't Wait,' which boldly addresses the gender equality theme. In just seconds, it painted a picture of everyday life, highlighting the challenges many women face in achieving equality. 👩👦👦 'Do you have plans for your future?' A seemingly innocuous question, but the path diverges when questions emerge that require different answers. Has having children penalized you? Do you earn less than your colleague? Have you experienced harassment? Questions that, unfortunately, too often disproportionately affect women. 💔 Data reveals staggering realities: one in five women leaves the workforce after becoming a mother. The gender pay gap in Italy is €7,922, and wage equality is projected for 2154. Workplace harassment is reported by over 40% of women. 🚀 'Equality Can't Wait' is more than a slogan. It's a call to awareness and action. Gender equality isn't just about the economy but also the social future of our country. Recognizing and addressing these challenges is the first step toward meaningful change. 🤝 Let's share these stories, inspire one another, and commit to a fairer future. Together, we can break down these walls and create a better world for all women. #EqualityCantWait #GenderEquality #EqualityForAll #WomenEmpowerment #Inclusion

Putting it all together. I love this #workplacewellness project with Paola Freudiger Jaeggi It's an opportunity to design an exciting menu of wellbeing sessions, bringing together some amazing professionals whose services I've benefitted from over the years. It's a way of working which I love: #collaboration. Teamwork, creating community, sharing ideas and pooling strengths It's another platform through which I can offer my #strengthscoaching to help people build confidence and self-belief and find direction. What kind of wellness sessions would you like to see offered in your organisation?

As part of the activities that the National Statistic Office is doing to raise awareness to erradicate violence against women among our co-workers, we had a panel with different experts to analyze the violence beyond the data. Thanks to Soraya Lara from PACAM, Yildalina Tatem from the Ministry of Women, Luis Vergés from Centro de Intervención Conductual para Hombres and Myrna Flores Chang from PROFAMILIA. #stopviolenceagainstwomen

WORTH A READ! I wrote on article on Imposter Syndrome: the case for African Women under #HERMediaNetwork Africa for La Svolta. How should we break the silence? The path forward requires a collective dismantling of these toxic norms and biases that perpetuate imposter syndrome.

If you really want to know what does it mean conceiving, planning and managing an efficient and effective Corporate Communication strategy, as well as set to become a case to be studied in the universities, you better take a look at “La parità non può aspettare” - Equality can’t wait - by TIM. We talk about an integrated omnichannel project, including an all women testimonial Out Of Home campaign, a mobile app named “Women Plus”, to help in job search and career deployment, and the transformation of the TIM stores in “Purple Points”, that is safe places for women searching for help against violence and sexual harassment, where they can rely upon employees trained by legal experts and psychologists. On top of it, since 2 weeks there’s on air a TV commercial, titled “The Labyrinth”, directed by the Oscar Winner Giuseppe Tornatore, which is one the best Corporate videos ever produced. You’ll find everything about gender inequality in this sixty seconds spot, shot with a straightforward language even if using metaphors and enlightened by a photography reminding the most famous films of the Italian director. #Corporate #Omichannel #CSR #Commercial #Advertising #genderequality

https://lnkd.in/eZFrffTQ The recent murder of 22-year-old student Giulia Cecchetin by her former partner Filippo Turetta has shaken Italy, sparking widespread anger and frustration among activists, organizations, and citizens. Giulia Cecchetin is the 105th woman murdered in Italy in 2023, a number that has dramatically increased in recent days. Elena Cecchettin, Giulia's sister, delivers a powerful message to the public and the media, linking the murder of Giulia to a patriarchal culture of violence and control against women, that normalises toxic behavior like Turetta's. She asserts "Turetta is not a monster; monsters are exceptions, people outside society, for whom society doesn’t need to take responsibility. But there’s a responsibility. Monsters aren’t sick; they’re healthy sons of the patriarchy and rape culture" She continues: "Femicide is not a crime of passion; it’s a crime of power [...] For Giulia, don’t hold a minute of silence, but burn it all down.” In an era where feminism is widespread and diverse, even mainstream, gender-based violence persists. The struggles seem temporarily ineffective when faced with the tragic death of a 22-year-old girl. Yet, as journalist Annalisa Camilli emphasizes, "it is time to call for a radical change; gradual approaches are not enough; we must change the system as a whole." As November 25th approaches, let's recognize that addressing gender-based violence requires collective responsibility. It's time for men to take their share. We need allies—men in their own families, in their own groups of friends, at work, those in positions of power—to recognise and dismantle the pyramid of rape culture and question the system that fuels it. Patriarchy is a toxic system for everyone. Self-criticism, reflection, individual and collective efforts, and political commitment at every level are crucial. Symbolic acts alone, like moments of silence or red benches, are insufficient. We need concrete actions for radical change, today and tomorrow, and every one of us has a role to play. #EndGenderViolence #CollectiveResponsibility #NoExcuse #25November

The recent gang rape of a 19-year old girl in #Palermo Italy at the hands of 7 boys aged between 18-21 sparked an outcry over Italy and urges a clear response from the institutions. No victim blaming can be tolerated. A sad reality that transcends borders: children & youth spend an enormous amount of time online, experiencing many risks, from bullying and violence, to disinformation and radicalization. Mental health among children is on the rise almost everywhere in the world. In such an interconnected world, we need a multi-stakeholders approach to bring about a real change and tackle the challenges that the online world poses. Legislation and more stringent rules, coupled with effective educative measures in schools about interpersonal relations from an early stage are pivotal to change attitudes and prevent such instances of violence in the future. Below you can find my interview with Italia Che Cambia where I try to unpack some of the issues at stake. 👇🏼👇🏼
