Italian women’s center, in Messina a seminar to plan concrete social actions

When it comes to social rights, the point is not so much to enunciate them, as “to” prepare practical means to satisfy them and prevent them from remaining as an empty theoretical formula written on paper, but not translatable in reality “. The maximum contained in the text “The future of the rights of freedom”, by the jurist Piero Calamandrei, is the motto chosen by Italian women’s center For the social year 2025. A maximum that finds full fulfillment in the mission that the associative reality – born from the awareness of how much the contribution of women who profess Christian values ​​played a fundamental role in the various existential levels (from social to institutional organizations, in the world of work and culture) – carries out to Messina. “From attention to action … Together” is the theme of the programmatic symposium organized by the Municipal CIF which took place in the Chapter of the Cathedral chapter. A moment of reflection that, explained the new president Teresa Schirò“Wants to intensify the interlocution with the various social actors, in the full recognition of the dignity of the woman in the multiple, private and public roles”. Hence the idea of ​​starting a dialogue with representatives of the institutions and associations starting from the Administration represented by the Councilor for Social Policies Alessandra Calafiore. “The network we intend to create, explained Schirò, is added to a commitment already undertaken: a after -school activity in the city center for girls and boys of the first and second degree institutes; support and collaboration initiatives with the Caritas of the parish of S. Caterina and various cultural activities, which contribute to a conscious and responsible growth of the community”. A remarkable starting point, strengthened by the context of the jubilee year, explained the ecclesiastical assistant of the CIF Messina Msgr. Giò Tavillawhich “represents the door of a path to a more convinced and lived Christianity with a view to designing and building an opening towards others”. The CIF was founded in 1944, urged by the then cardinal Enrico Maria Montini To collaborate to reconstruct a destroyed society, torn apart by the war, by Maria Federici, a woman activist animated by a profound faith. At that historical moment the chiffine were called to raise a nation, reconstructing the family, ecclesial fabric, beating in the name of the value of peace and for those rights that Pope Leo XIV also indicated a speech of the start mandate.
