Anti-violence centres, a text message to support them and help women

A text message against gender violence. To support Italian anti-violence centers and help women in difficulty. And the SMS campaign to the solidarity number 45586, launched by One Hundred Thousand Foundation in collaboration with APS Woman Difference to raise funds to support Italian anti-violence centers and raise awareness against the phenomenon of gender violence. The number to which you can donate will be active until the September 30th.

In support of the campaign, many artists from Italian music, cinema and entertainment have lent their voices to launch an appeal because «violence against women affects us all». As we write, the news adds the name of Klodiana Vefa, 35 years old, to the feminicides that have occurred since the beginning of 2023. 80 women have already been killed. Data from the Ministry of the Interior say that up to September 24th, from January 1st, 243 murders were recorded, with 84 female victims, of which 69 were killed in a family/emotional context; of these, 44 died at the hands of their partner/ex-partner.

The interventions that the One Hundred Thousand Foundation, founded in November 2022 by Fiorella Mannoia, Giulia Minoli, Celeste Costantino and Lella Palladino, wants to activate concern: support and support for anti-violence centers and shelters, thus contributing to the paths of self-determination and economic independence of women; the overcoming of stereotypes and cultural prejudices that legitimize violence through affective education interventions and projects in schools and finally the creation and production of cultural events to raise awareness on the issues of gender discrimination and male violence against women.
