The CISL Women's Coordination and FNP CISL Women's Coordination, they decided to promote an initiative.

Beyond the impact statements, but which risk remaining limited to the rooms or days close to November 25th, we wanted to promote a fundraiser for the Women's Justice Center in Ferrara. This is a center that has been welcoming and providing assistance to victims of violence for years: domestic, workplace, exploitation, etc.

A long-standing collaboration with the Center has enabled us to leverage their unique strengths, and ours, to benefit those struggling to escape violence.

We have therefore set up small "treasure boxes" distributed throughout all CISL and FNP offices and locations in the Province to collect donations, both large and small. The collection will continue for several months, and we ask all of you to participate in the project, both by making concrete contributions and by promoting it among all our members and users of our services.

We have chosen to use, in the flyers and bookmarks that will be available near the treasure chests, an image that emphasizes color, the richness of diversity and the value of acting "together", and a text that highlights the Future.

We ask all those who frequent our offices in various capacities to contribute to supporting this important organization.

November 25th marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women: an event that, unfortunately, is never merely symbolic. By 2025, more than 50 women have already been killed in Italy. A frightening number, but one that only tells a part of the story. the general secretary of the CISL, Daniela Fumarola in view of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, established by the United Nations General Assembly through resolution number 54/134 of 17 December 1999.

Alongside femicides, there are thousands of cases of psychological and economic violence, stalking, and workplace harassment: often silent forms of abuse, difficult to recognize even for those who suffer them. This requires a concerted effort—institutions, unions, associations, and citizens—that goes beyond a single incident. Prevention, protection, and education are needed. Above all, we need to change the culture that still, too often, justifies or minimizes it.

As CISL, we are doing our part, with conviction and continuity: we are present at institutional discussions starting with the new National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based and Domestic Violence 2025-2027, we are bringing the fight against all forms of violence and discrimination into the workplace, in full compliance with ILO Convention 190/2019, we are strengthening our network of counseling centers and services so that no woman feels alone when she asks for help, we are promoting training for delegates, male and female, and female workers, because knowing how to recognize the signs of violence is the first step to stopping it.

Throughout the country, in recent weeks, our organizations have been organizing awareness-raising initiatives, meetings, and reflection sessions. These are concrete examples of our role as a "local union": close to people, inside and outside the workplace," concludes the CISL General Secretary.

It is also estimated that, although illegal in the EU, about 600 thousand women living in Europe have been victims of this practice, and that another 180 thousand are at risk in 13 EU countries, including Italy. A dramatic picture, also connected to the phenomenon of child brides, which every year feeds on new cases.

Faced with the concrete risk that the various dynamics of destabilization, increase in poverty and inequality underway in recent years, could worsen this plague, the Cisl and Anolf reconfirm their commitment to promoting a culture of respect and equal opportunities against all forms of abuse and violence.

We will continue on the path to support information and awareness-raising actions aimed at immigrant women, together with the strengthening and enhancement of our presence in all territorial areas and in the related health facilities. It is a battle of civilization and humanity that we do not want and cannot lose. We need to affirm and concretize the value of solidarity between women and men, as the basis of collective action for the common good.

Day to Combat Violence Against Women

Dear all, we are on the eve of yet another November 25th, a day dedicated to combating violence against women, but once again we cannot say we have made any progress.  

Even these days, the news reports too many cases of violence and murder perpetrated against women who were once wives, partners, mothers, friends, at the hands of men incapable of respecting them and considering life precious.

Together with local organizations that have always been involved with women, we organized a small demonstration for the November 25th at 6 pm in Piazza Savonarola. We'll read some testimonies from those who have experienced violence firsthand, and we thought it was important to be in the square anyway, to try to get people to reflect for a few minutes on this sad topic. Everyone's commitment is needed so that the relationship between men and women becomes one of equals, and no one thinks they can own or dominate the other!

As the CISL Women's Coordination Committee, together with the Secretariat, we produced the video "How You Were Dressed," which is also available on the CISL Ferrara YouTube channel. I urge you to watch and share it, because challenging stereotypes is the first step towards building new awareness. Finally, the demonstration on November 25th in the square will likely include a delegation of Iranian women, a population currently facing a very difficult civil struggle.

I'm attaching the flyer, hoping to see you in Piazza Venerdì.

Good work everyone.
