“Sometimes violence takes place inside the walls of the house, that place that should be the safest place par excellence for everyone. Sometimes it happens even near us, to our friendsbut we are so far removed from the subject that we believe in a temporary anger – he says luca de giorgioi, President of the Vita Onlus Association of Milan, co-creator of the event together with ennio giganti, organizer and promoter of the same together with the MarcoSacchi Association of Palermo -. The objective of the meeting on Saturday May 27 is to create a network between associations, collaborate with institutions, sensitize citizens. We must make it clear that the victims may be close to us. We must learn to recognize signs and messages even non-verbal. But, above all, make those who are victims understand that they are not alone; that there are organizations and associations willing to lend a hand, that understand without judging. Hope and conscience are the key words of the evening”.
