For a republic that values \u200b\u200bwomen
We women are an important resource of the country, from the family and social to the professional and institutional.
We are at the forefront in the daily care and work we do with dedication, competence and seriousness. Yet today women they rise to the honors of the first pages of the media if they are compliant to the "powerful" commodified and subjugated to a model of female identity and prejudices.
If the assumption is that, for Italian women it foreshadows a difficult future. Not only for the economic crisis which they pay more than men, the penalty in the labor market, but especially for the creeping corruption that hovers, he plays on appearance as the first requirement of the statement, falsifies the talent agenda and betrays the people.
We are on the eve of European elections and look to Europe as a space where you can act to change this humiliating situation. To pursue a personal and social development based on equal opportunity and merit.
But how to achieve this goal if the content, the candidates and candidates for the European Parliament are obscured in media, both by the "fake candidates" that will not go to Brussels and secondly on the soap opera that unfortunately unbearable regard to the fourth position in the State.
If you add to this the malicious Byzantine rules are applied to the television appearances, no wonder the citizens' lack of continuing on the European elections.
There is no comparison between different opinions is not allowed an open meeting, but, we wonder, Europe is our future? And women do not have, as always, the educational responsibility to the citizens of Europe?
In a critical stage in Italy, seeing real women struggling with the impoverishment of families, job insecurity or job loss, with the reduction of public resources in education, training and welfare, there is talk of other things, criticize their projects and their expectations.
We give voice to women is concrete, serious, constructive, talk about the talents of women leaders engaged in battles for the future of Europe, which mostly affects young people and families.
On June 2, 1946 to the Italian women were granted the right to vote. A law that seems obvious today but it was a difficult conquest. Today, 63 years later, the principles constitutional equality, right to work, dignity and the tones are still largely unrealized in the course of the campaign are yet another demonstration.
We women honored with awards of Merit, and we women involved in the institutions, the professions and in society, and we women candidates at the European Parliament want June 2, Republic Day, is an opportunity to reaffirm role that women played in the construction of the Italian Republic.
ask men and women of the institutions and policies to share the reasons and the deep meaning of this Appeal and to engage with us to betray the confidence and expectations of new generations.
