The first Punto Viola in Terni will be inaugurated on Friday 28 June. Punto Viola is a project of national resonance by the Donne x Strada Association, supported by the Rotaract 2090 District and the Rotaract Club of Terni, which has identified Dr. Amleto Bianchi’s Pharmacy as a place where people who are victims of violence, men and women, can ask for help. The Pharmacy staff has received training from the Donne x Strada Association, by a lawyer and a psychologist, to be able to support these people.
The Purple Points are safe places for people: “Safe places mean any commercial establishment open to the public, sensitized and trained against gender violence and for people’s safety on the street. The general objective is to activate the individual citizen in combating violence starting from the territory and building a network that can support the victims”.
The project is national in scope as there are around 400 Purple Points already present throughout the peninsula to guarantee safety and gender equality. It is a daily point of reference and free access; a place that can be understood as a “first aid” and short transit place for people who need support, to then be directed to the places most responsible for taking care of the various needs that may arise.
The Rotaract Club of Terni and the Farmacia Dott. Amleto Bianchi will organize the inauguration of the first Punto Viola in Terni on Friday 28 June, at 18:30, to which all citizens are invited, to celebrate this important milestone for the city.
During the day on Friday, all citizens will be able to undergo a free cardiac screening at the Pharmacy, offered by Agenzia Generali di Terni, Hub Academy 169, via del Maglio (above Mediaworld).
Any citizen will be able to book in the Bianchi Pharmacy to have an electrocardiogram with free cardiology report. The project aims to prevent cardiovascular diseases, which still remain the leading cause of death in our country today.
Places are limited, therefore telephone reservations are required on 0744408120 or on Whatsapp on 3333209811.
The Generali Agency of Terni, Hub Academy 169, via del maglio (above
Mediaworld), wanted to support the Rotaract Club of Terni and the Bianchi Pharmacy in this important project against gender violence, an increasingly common problem in Italy, which is very important to fight every day with the contribution of every single citizen, building a safer city together.
