“The Italian presidency will bring together the G7 ministers responsible for equal opportunities from 4 to 6 October in Matera and the meeting, which I will have the honor of chairing, will represent the ideal platform for the exchange of good practices, the creation of innovative solutions and the promotion of partnerships aimed at achieving gender equality within the G7”. This was announced by the Minister for Family, Birth and Equal Opportunities Eugenia Roccella, during the “Women7 Summit” dedicated to equal opportunities underway in the Capitol.
“We have decided to concentrate the G7 ministerial meeting dedicated to equal opportunities on two issues, apparently distant – explained the minister – but in reality strongly connected. On the one hand, male violence against women, in terms of prevention and support to the victims. On the other, female empowerment, with a particular focus on the relationship with work, business and parenting”. For the minister, “violence and empowerment are actually closely linked and very current issues. Also due to what is happening in the world” and underlining that “violence has a lot to do, in oppositional terms, also with the issue of empowerment and with the great, essential theme of freedom” and in particular of economic independence.
