Five training days aimed at operators in the emergency rooms, orthopedics and maternal and child departments of the Umbria local health authority aimed at combating and preventing violence against women. They started on Wednesday 8 May and ended on Wednesday 25 September 2024. This is what the “From signs to dreams” project provides, financed by Vodafone, coordinated and implemented by the Libellula Impresa Sociale Foundation of Milan. For its implementation, the Umbria 1 Local Health Authority has identified as the contact person Dr. Gioia Calagreti, medical director of the Medical Directorate of the Alto Tevere Hospital, IPAS Risk Management and company contact person for the Pink Code Network. Fondazione Libellula and Local Health Authority Umbria 1, thanks to a partnership agreement, will carry out this awareness-raising process in the form of collaboration, which will involve around 60 operators. It is aimed at combating and preventing violence against women through training designed for hospitals. The objective is to teach social and health personnel how to recognize the signs of domestic violence even when they are not immediately visible. The training course is structured for a total of 15 hours and divided into 5 3-hour meetings in webinar mode. Only hospitals in 5 regions will benefit from this project, offered completely free of charge, and among these, the Umbria 1 Local Health Authority has been chosen for Umbria. “Joining this new project – explains Gioia Calagreti – testifies to the commitment that my company is pouring into the fight against violence, especially domestic violence. Unfortunately, women and children are increasingly victims of crimes that often remain hidden or, worse, that we are often unable to identify because they are poorly trained in intercepting crimes. small signals. This is why in this new project we will include not only emergency room, gynecology and pediatrics operators but also all professionals specialized in orthopedics and traumatology who can visit small and large patients and perhaps recognize not just a few injuries. typical’ but also to identify a small sign that could be useful in intercepting possible unreported violence. I am grateful to be able to coordinate such an important project within the Umbria 1 local health authority this time too.
