“Let’s stop this continuous dripping of violence against women. Let’s give a strong signal all together and put a red ribbon on all our sailing boats on July 4th ». These are the words of STEFANO Sundays, sailor and president ofassociation 10000 Sails of Solidarity, on the eve of 4th July. That day, to reiterate the importance of combating violence against women, no ifs and buts, the people of sailing will put a red ribbon on the masts of each boat. A grand flash mob on the sea that is an appeal to everyone so that every form of violence against women never goes unnoticed.
A symbolic and very long red ribbon along the eight thousand kilometers of coasts of seas and lakes of our country.
«The world of sailing, in its incredible variations and peculiarities, has long since learned to consider gender equality as an established fact. We like to say and think that on a boat there is no difference in gender, age, class»Continues Stefano de Dominicis. “We have this luck and as good sailors and sailors we believe that luck should be shared.”

With my project I would like to invite people to reflect on the need for each of us to courageously become aware of the fact that gender-based violence exists (and is on the rise) and on the sexist and often empathetic language that is used in the comments I have collected. by both men and women, and which I carry in my images like a mirror ».
