" Amnesty International: the last campaing in Italy "sex without consent is rape"

sex without consent is rape

"Sexual violence is a widespread and systemic phenomenon all over the world. Victims often do not know their rights and face multiple obstacles in accessing justice and compensation, including harmful gender stereotypes, misconceptions about sexual violence, guilt accusations, doubts about their credibility, inadequate support and ineffective legislation.

In Italy, in particular, the prejudice that blames the woman for the sexual violence suffered persists.

A prejudice that is confirmed in the Italian penal code, where in article 609-bis, the "crime of rape" is expected to be necessarily linked to the elements of violence, or of the threat or of deception, or authority abuse.

However, as established by the Istanbul Convention, ratified by Italy in 2013, rape is a "sexual relationship without consent". Article 36, paragraph 2, of the Convention specifies that consent "must be given voluntarily, as a free manifestation of the person's will, and must be assessed taking into account the situation and context".

For these reasons, we ask the Minister of Justice to revise article 609-bis of the penal code, in line with the commitments made in 2013, so that any non-consensual sexual act is punishable."

Gender equality bullying

Here you can find two short videos on gender bullying:

"Hasta que las mentalidades progresen, continuaremos avanzando".

"Porque te hacen bullying desde la escuela, porque tus amigos no te aceptan como eres, porque no te entiende tu familia, porque no tienes las mismas oportunidades... 

Estamos contigo."

"Convertirse en mujer durante un día y ver por todo lo que pasa..."

"Antoine, un parisino de 23 años, se metió en la piel de una mujer durante un día para experimentar todo lo que tenemos que soportar."

United Nations: gender equality

"Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also half of its potential. Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right, is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable development. Moreover, it has been shown that empowering women spurs productivity and economic growth."

"The UN Secretary-General, Mr. António Guterres has stated that achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls is the unfinished business of our time, and the greatest human rights challenge in our world."

Always: "run like a girl" - fighting stereotypes

"You have to be girly"

"Join Always in our epic battle to keep girls' confidence high during puberty and beyond. 

Using #LikeAGirl as an insult is a hard knock against any adolescent girl. 

And since the rest of puberty's really no picnic either, it's easy to see what a huge impact it can have on a girl's self-confidence. 

Making a start by showing them that doing things #LikeAGirl is an awesome thing!

"In my work as a documentarian, I have witnessed the confidence crisis among girls and the negative impact of stereotypes first-hand," said Lauren Greenfield, filmmaker and director of the #LikeAGirl video.  

"When the words 'like a girl' are used to mean something bad, it is profoundly disempowering. I am proud to partner with Always to shed light on how this simple phrase can have a significant and long-lasting impact on girls and women. I am excited to be a part of the movement to redefine 'like a girl' into a positive affirmation."

How parents influence kid's gender

“In our home, I take on a lot of responsibilities that previous generations would have scoffed at,” says Whit Honea, a co-founder of Dads 4 Change. In a new episode of Home School, The Atlantic’s animated series about parenting, Honea explains why, in a culture where outdated gender stereotypes are “very much alive,” parents shouldn’t dictate gender roles to their children. 

“By no means do I want to imply that it's wrong for kids to embrace things that they enjoy just because it falls on one [gender] or the other—just that it shouldn't be mandated by us,” Honea says.

Climate action and women's leaders

"Tackling this Climate Crisis is going to require all of us. Women and marginalized communities are a fountain of solutions and knowledge when it comes to fighting climate change."

International Women's day 2020

"Around the world and through the decades, we have all shared in the global struggle for gender equality. From the Suffragettes to the Ni Una Menos movement and from Sojourner Truth to Malala Yousafzai, activists and women’s movements have stood up and spoken out for a fairer world, time and time again. 

Regardless of our age, country, background or gender, the fight for equal rights has collectively defined our lives and we must take action together to achieve it.

This International Women’s Day, UN Women’s multi-generational campaign,

 Generation Equality

brings together past and present advocates to demand gender equality in this generation. 25 years since the adoption of the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995, the campaign mobilizes governments and civil society to take bold action and keep the promises of the visionary agenda for gender equality."

UN: Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women

Here you have the United Nations webpage for the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women

Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women

"It watches over the progress for women made in those countries that are the States parties to the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. A country becomes a State party by ratifying or acceding to the Convention and thereby accepting a legal obligation to counteract discrimination against women. The Committee monitors the implementation of national measures to fulfil this obligation."

"The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), an expert body established in 1982, is composed of 23 experts on women's issues from around the world."

New York Times: a call for aid, not laws, to help women in Italy

"Responding to the persistent problem of violence against women, Prime Minister Enrico Letta this month announced “very harsh, very tough” measures to counter domestic abuse and what he called “femicide,” the killing of women because they are women, often at the hands of current or former husbands or boyfriends.

The 12-point decree, effective immediately, sets stricter penalties for the perpetrators of domestic abuse, sexual violence and stalking, and it expands protections for some of the most vulnerable women, including immigrants who lack residency permits."

10 Questions to Gender Equality between father and son

UNICEF: Gender Equality

From unicef on gender equality website: good pages on the item, it is necessary to read it if you want to try to understand the world wide situation.

Gender equality Equal rights and opportunities for girls and boys help all children fulfil their potential.

"Twenty years after the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action was adopted by 189 Member states meeting in China, its stature and significance as a roadmap for the achievement of gender equality remains undiminished. This pivotal document continues to guide the global struggle against constraints and obstacles to the empowerment of women around the world.

In the face of new forces threatening to curtail the rights of women and girls, we must return to the agenda set by the Platform for Action and renew our commitment to carry it out in full.

This milestone anniversary coincides with the once-in-a-generation opportunity presented in 2015. During this single year, we must do our utmost to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, adopt a post-2015 agenda with a new generation of sustainable development goals, and approve a meaningful, universal climate agreement.

As we look ahead to creating a more sustainable, inclusive and peaceful world, I applaud the visionary leadership of those who crafted the Platform for Action and urge a new generation of gender equality advocates to join me in advancing this cause. When we empower women and girls, we will realize a better future for all."

Gender Equality in Pescara: some spots for our region

A wonderful spot for Abruzzo, from our town we can see two mountains: the Gran Sasso (the highest mountain of the Appennines) and the Majella, whose name is related with an ancient legend:

Another wonderful spot for Abruzzo, shot by a drone to discover our region:

From dawn to sunset in Abruzzo:

Stop killing women

Red like blood, like love, like an open and painful wound. 

Red like shame... 
because we are still ashamed when the "monster" who says he loves us stretches his hands over our body, 
and mistreats us, 
and rapes us, 
and rips our hearts out. 

Red like the red shoes of women who filled the streets to say stop to femicides.

Five italian spots on violence against women

VIOLENCE ON WOMEN, STOP IT! 

This an awareness campaign aimed to the target of young people (15-20 years), 

It is divided into 5 spots that were made in 2013 by the third year students of the Civica Scuola di Cinema in Milan, who worked on the production of the spots from the ideation, passing through writing, filming, editing, sound reinforcement and promotion to their tutor teachers: the director Carlo Arturo Sigon and the advertisers Carlotta Tessarolo and Arianna Pregagnoli.

Gender stereotypes on EIGE

Gender stereotypes are not always obvious. They start to follow us from the our earliest days and continues to influence us when choosing subjects at school and career.

EIGE is focusing on gender equality in the classroom

Gender equality and children: what do they think?

Working together means to build a better world. Gnder equality has nothing to do with genetics. The great problem is how we grow up our children.

This a social experiment made in Italy

Children do not accept gender differences, ut they will if we tell them that gender differences are right.

And this is the same experiment made in Norway

Gender bias starts from the cradle

Gender bias starts from the cradle, let's end with it.

1) As a girl, I'am expected to be your little princess. As a boy, I'am expected to be your hero. 
2) I'm supposed to play with dolls and look pretty. I'm supposed to play sports and act tough. 
3) Crying makes people think I'm hormonal. Crying makes people think I'm weak. 
4) If I spend more time at work than at home, I lack devotion. If I spend more time at home than at work, I lack devotion. 
5) People will question my sexuality if I choose to join the army. People will question my sexuality if I choose to be a nurse. 
6) I'm expected to define myself as a boy or as a girl. 

If gender bias begins with us, it can end with us.

Emma Watson speech: UN Women Goodwill Ambassador

A speech we have to listen to or read 

Speech by UN Women Goodwill Ambassador 

Emma Watson

This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN: we want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for gender equality. 

And we don’t just want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible."

Do not confuse Love and abuse: a nice animated video on abusing relationship: Dayoneny

In the Dayoneny website there is good explanation of: What is dating abuse?

"Dating abuse is a type of domestic violence characterized by a pattern of controlling and sometimes violent behavior in casual or serious dating relationships. It affects people regardless of race, class, gender, or sexual orientation. 

Even a one-time incident of dating violence 

is NOT ok. 

In abusive relationships, there is a pattern of controlling and/or violent behavior: the abuse happens again and again, and it gets worse over time." 

It is worth to watch it:

A nice short video on the transgender item

"Transgender is not a dirty word, it is not a fashion, it is not a factory defect.

Transgender are boys or girls who implement stereotypically behaviors and games considered of the opposite gender. For example, girls playing with superheroes or children who like to dress in clothing considered female as skirts or love to play with dolls and put on makeup."

Some monologues on violence against women

Here you have some monologues by some of our actresses on the violence against women; these shows were broadcast on Italian televisions:

"You wanted it"

Italian song on different kind of violence against women 2

Women usually face different kinds of violence...

"at school words become violence

because everyone can only judge

and my feelings are broken bones

and I start to feel good

and that gentleman is always out of school

he wants to play with me"

"You said you wanted to be just a friend of mine
and I believed you, I believed you
I believed you 
and you promised me that you would get me a nice ice cream
and I believed you, I believed you, I believed you
and so remove that mouth that your beard hurts
and leave me the legs because when I grow up I'll have to dance
I have to dance with them"

Italian song on different kind of violence against women 1

Here you have an italian song

"Io non ho paura" (I'm not afraid)








Chadia is the voices of all the women who cry in silence:
"Please, my name is Donna
I live with defect and shame
I go around in heels and a short skirt
if I'm too thin or too round
they called me dry and whale
shouted in the face and whispered in the back
they called me nun, bitch, fool
without makeup without nail polish and cream"

Some videos on gender violence songs in Italian

We publish here some videos on gender violence in some italian songs:

Alex Britti: "Perché" (why?)

Alex Britti was in a public park when he watched the terrible scene of a man punching a woman. Alex promptly intervened in defense of the woman and he was able to quell the violence and bring first aid to the victim. 

The man was the woman's husband.

Closing the Gender gap

General Information on Gender Equality in Europe: 4

The International Monetary Fund website shows that "Gender equality is not just the right thing to do—it also makes good economic sense. Yet across the world, women are still a long way off from achieving gender parity with men, according to a new report from the World Economic Forum."

THE STATE OF THE GENDER PAY GAP 2020: 

Payscale gender pay gap

Pay equity analysis can show if your organization pays women less than men for equal work.

"Since we have started tracking the gender pay gap, the difference between the earnings of women and men has shrunk, but only by an incremental amount each year."

There is still a great gap between men and women on earnings

General Information on Gender Equality in Europe: 2

Another step on general information about the item gender equality; here you other website links on this item:

Harvard Business Review

In this magazine website you can find many articles on gender equality: "We’re making progress, but it is too slow. That’s the key finding of the sixth edition of Deloitte Global’s Women in the Boardroom report, which found that women hold just 16.9% of board seats globally."

 

Research to reduce gender bias: anonymize job applications

"there is some suggestions that anonymizing details about the applicant — removing their name, for example — leads to the selection of more candidates from underrepresented groups."

Is it a good solution to anonymize application forms? Maybe...

On the website of the United Nations there is one of the 17 objectives: 

Goal 5: 

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls: a detailed definition of this objective: 

"There has been progress over the last decades: More girls are going to school, fewer girls are forced into early marriage, more women are serving in parliament and positions of leadership, and laws are being reformed to advance gender equality", but there is still a long way  to go on...

The EIGE website is the European Institute for Gender Equality, this is an essential site for those who want to know something about the topic.

Wikipedia: Gender Gap Report

As it is well known Wikipedia is a very important resource: "The Global Gender Gap Report was first published in 2006 by the World Economic Forum. The 2020 report (published in 2019) covers 153 countries. The Global Gender Gap Index is an index designed to measure gender equality.

The index is designed to "measure gender-based gaps in access to resources and opportunities in countries rather than the actual levels of the available resources and opportunities in those countries."

Wikipedia: women rights in 2014

On Wikipedia "2014 was described as a watershed year for women's rights, by newspapers such as The Guardian. It was described as a year in which women's voices acquired greater legitimacy and authority. Time magazine said 2014 "may have been the best year for women since the dawn of time"."
