The Opera Pia Michele Grimaldi of Modica recently promoted an initiative to improve road safety for immigrants. The foundation provided a significant number of vests highly visible, intended for associations and bodies dealing with immigrants. The aim is to increase awareness and use of such safety devices to ensure the protection of both individuals and other road users.
The delivery of the vests was managed by the councilor lawyer. Filippo Pasqualetto, representative of the Opera Pia, who made these devices available to the Caritas of Marina di Acate and the USB of Acate. These bodies have long been involved in assisting immigrant workers and have welcomed the initiative, recognizing its importance and usefulness.
The initiative is not limited to the distribution of vests, but also aims to spread a culture of road safety prevention. The area has in fact recorded numerous serious and fatal accidents involving immigrant workers, often due to the use of dangerous and unsafe means of transport such as bicycles, scooters without lights or scooters.
In addition to the vests, information panels were prepared and delivered in Arabic, French, English and Italian. These pictures will be posted inside the collective structures to further raise immigrant awareness of the importance of using safety devices.
