Event Details:
Location: Palazzo Montecitorio, Chamber of Deputies, Rome
Theme: Presentation of the new report by WeWorld Intervita on violence against women and gender stereotypes.
The report, titled “ROSA SHOCKING: Violence, Stereotypes… and Other Gender Issues,” builds on the pioneering study “Quanto costa il Silenzio?” (How Much Does Silence Cost?), the first national research on the economic and social costs of violence against women. The new publication offers updated data on prevention investments and their economic impact, highlighting the role of advertising in either perpetuating or combating gender stereotypes. Additionally, it includes an opinion poll on how Italians perceive violence against women.
The event will conclude with a media-focused debate on how to influence public discourse on this critical issue.
