Rome, Italy. 25th Nov, 2024. Tranfeminist organizations - including Casa Delle Donne Lucha Y Siesta, NonUnaDiMeno (Not One Woman Less), Associazione Di.Re. Donne In Rete Contro La Violenza, Differenza Donna ONG/NGO (*), No CPR, Scosse - held a demo outside the Italian Parliament in Piazza Montecitorio. The Protest - which marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women - was called in solidarity with all the women, especially women fighting patriarchal, domestic, racist, institutional, environmental and economic violence. Moreover, the demo was called to firmly demand the end to male and gender-based violence against women and the Feminicides (Femminicidio - 100 women have been killed in Italy in 2024, 87 of which in the family and emotional/relationship context 1.), to fight for the living wage and same working rights for all women, supporting abortion’s rights and self-determination, against right-wing Giorgia Meloni’s Italian Government, to support migrant women and women in prison, to show solidarity with Palestinian, Lebanese, Iranian and Kurdish Women, and to end all forms of discrimination against women and the LGBTQIPA+ people.<br />
During the demo, a little “Red Bench” was displayed along with a quote by France’s victim of multiple rapes organised by her husband, Gisel Pelicot: “La vergogna deve cambiare lato” (Shame must change sides). Protesters claimed that the so famous “Red Bench” (Panchina Rossa / Panchina Rifugio), well known symbol against the violence against women and against gender violence, is actually a useless, a “palliative” symbol which does not help Women, when instead they need anti-violence centres, consultants, Case Delle Donne / Women’s Houses at least in every city and town of Italy.<br />
The Italian phone number for help and support for gender-based violence against women is 1522 (*).<br />
