Toys and basic necessities for a child who lives with his mother detained in Gazzi prison, in Messina. They were donated by the directors of AIGA Messina, the Italian Association of Young Lawyers, during a solidarity initiative in which the president of the Messina section, Enza Bontempo, also took part.
The charitable initiative was promoted by the lawyer Gianmarco Silvestro, regional manager of the AIGA National Observatory on Prisons (ONAC) and councilor of the Messina section, with the aim of offering a concrete sign of closeness and attention to the child, who lives inside the penitentiary institution together with his mother.

With this donation the association wanted to reiterate its commitment also on a social level, drawing attention to the protection of the dignity and rights of the most vulnerable people, in particular children.
Thanks were addressed to the director of the prison, Romina Taiani, for having accepted the proposal, and to the Children’s Guarantor Giovanni Amante, who acted as spokesperson for the initiative.
