“Today, March 8, on the occasion of the International Day of Women’s Rights, we stop to reflect on what has been done and what still remains to be done to guarantee a future of equality and freedom for all women.
This day is not only an opportunity for celebration, but a strong call to continue to fight for women’s rights, for their safety, their autonomy and their full recognition in every area of society.
The Calabria Region, aware of the challenges that women face every day, is committed to promoting concrete policies in their favor, as the recent regional laws demonstrate, including that for the fight against gender -based violence, which testify to our commitment to protect anyone who is the victim of abuse and to guarantee equal opportunities to all. The measures adopted by the regional council are a tangible sign of the desire to build a territory where women can be free from any form of discrimination and violence.
The International Day of Women’s Rights invites us to reflect on the path we have traveled, but also on the urgency of continuing to work together, as institutions, as a community, so that women’s rights are never questioned again. It is an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment, at local and global level, for a world in which every woman can enjoy the fundamental rights that are due, without fear, without obstacles, with equal dignity and opportunities. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to continue building a society where gender equality is not a goal to be achieved, but a concrete and daily reality.
