The meeting, moderated by the President of the Alcamo Council, was a first moment of discussion and sharing between the different experiences and realities of the cities that have joined the project and which, shortly, will sign a Memorandum of Understanding for a common action against violence against women, so that it can be combated in all its expressions, including gender violence. It is necessary to raise awareness among the community to become aware of the fact that violence can be next door, too often attitudes and behaviors masked by distorted feelings lead to violent gestures, which destroy entire families and which affect the feelings of society in general.
