“That is the reason why the Summit for Women was born, a spontaneous meeting, open to all and that foresees other meetings of permanent General States from Rome followed by all Italian Regions: an exchange of best practices and abstracts on different themes including the collection and publication online for all 2015, a space for the valorization of women and to make their voices heard says isa maggi creator of these General States for Women and representative of BicNet Italia Network. ”In Rome we have presented important data which are the results of a two-year work carried out through all Italian territories.
Two relevant initiatives have been highlighted, “Women who resist” and “Women who did it”, as well as many data at European, national, regional and local levels providing a relevant focus on social, cultural and economic interests ”.
