News
Corte Briantea and the Municipality of Muggiò join the “Roses Against Violence” project. “Roses Against Violence” is an initiative that was launched in 2018 and spread throughout Europe. The association aims to raise awareness about violence against women. The symbol of the association is crocheted roses. Placed in public spaces in the most visible cities, their purpose is to condemn the culture behind violence against women. Corte Briantea and the Municipality of Muggiò will distribute these roses handmade by the Hospital Volunteer Association (AVO) on 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.“In Italy, there are 88 women victims of violence every day, about one every 15 minutes. 36% suffer mistreatment, 27% stalking, 9% sexual violence and 16% beatings” (Source: Italian State Police, 2019).
