WOMEN AND DIGNITY
Free read
testimony to the streets of Sister Eugenia Bonetti
" We want a country that respects all women." A large banner hanging on the terrace of pink Pincio and Piazza del Popolo in Rome, packed with women of all ages, but also men and children, without party symbols, without distinction. Mothers with daughters, women with husbands or boyfriends, couples with strollers. A million people in 230 Italian cities and 30 foreign cities. By so many people fail to enter the access roads to the square, jammed with signs of life festive and original slogans, angry or curious: "Italy and the women have very different dignity," "The woman freedom is the absolute opposite of the slight woman, "" Italy is a Republic founded on favor (sexual). " And a significant initial flash mob: a half minutes of silence and a cry from the stage: "If not now when?". The square has a voice replied: "Now." Thus took place on Sunday 13 February, the demonstration of the People called by a group of women in the world of culture, entertainment, civil society, to demand respect for the dignity of women. A fresh wind that has covered the peninsula from north to south, but also in other cities in the world, because the Italian women - those "real" - are tired of how they are represented by the world of politics and media have decided to say "Enough." Many interventions that have followed women on stage, including the thunderous applause of the square.
Let us quote one of them: one - applauded - the Consolata Missionary Sister Eugenia Bonetti, head of "Trafficking in women and children" of 'USMI (Union of Superiors Major of Italy). Sister Eugenia has lived in Africa for 24 years, Caritas has worked in a center of Turin with women victims of These and hundreds of hours coordinating religious working in the streets, listening centers, detention centers and group homes and expulsion.
"Enough of this unworthy market." "I'm here to give voice to the voiceless - so he started the mission - under the new slaves, victims of human trafficking for labor and sexual exploitation, to launch a strong appeal to be recognized their dignity and restore their true image of women, the architects of their own lives and their future. On their behalf, and we say enough to this shameful and unworthy of the female world market. " Sister Eugenia pointed out that "the image to be transmitted in many ways and forms, media, advertising and the same day to day relationship between man and woman is the image of the female body intended only as an object or instrument of pleasure, consumption and profit, disregarding the essential however that the same human body contains: a deep and endless beauty to be discovered, to respect, appreciate and value. "
The woman is not a commodity. "The constant news stories in recent weeks that follow one another so shameless in our newspapers and television and radio - said the nun - terrify us and make us think that we are still far from seeing the woman for what it really is and not simply an object or a commodity to be used. What image are we giving the women and their role in society and family? ".
Sister Eugenia showed above all a big contradiction: "In recent times we have tried to eliminate prostitution street bothered and disturbed because the would-conformists. We wanted to shut her up in less visible places, thought he had solved the problem, but we do not realize that prostitution and body image of women has become an integral part of television programs and news, culture of everyday life. " "All this - said - unfortunately educates exploitation, abuse of power, pleasure, power, without any concern of the painful consequences on our young people see role models and goals to be achieved."
An appeal against indifference. "Too often - said Sister Eugenia - the woman is considered only for the beauty and external appearance of his body and not for the wealth of the true values \u200b\u200bof intelligence and inner beauty. Its success and its future can not be based on money, career or on the privileges of the powerful, but must be based on its human resources, its inner beauty and its sense of responsibility. "

"We can no longer remain indifferent to what happens today in Italy against the women. We are all responsible for the human and social malaise which has torn the country. " Hence the appeal to "civil and religious authorities, the macho male world and that no questions, information and training to agencies, schools, parishes, youth groups, families and especially women "reappropriation" of those values \u200b\u200band meanings that underpin the common good for a living worthy of human persons, for a more just and more free.

March 8, 2011: International Women's Day
History
The "Woman's Day" in the U.S. (1908-1909)
On this argument, Congress passed a resolution in which they undertook the socialist parties to "fight vigorously for the introduction of universal suffrage of women," without "an alliance with the bourgeois feminists who claim the right of suffrage but with the socialist parties fighting for the suffrage of women. " Two days later, the 26 to August 27 , was held an international conference of socialist women, attended by 58 delegates from 13 countries in which it was decided the creation of an Information Office of Socialist Women: Clara Zetkin was elected secretary and drawn from her journal, Die Gleichheit ( Equality), became the organ of the International Socialist Women.
Not everyone shared in the decision to rule out any alliance with the 'bourgeois feminist' in U.S. , the Socialist Corinne Brown wrote in February 1908 the journal The Socialist Woman, that Congress would not have had "no right to dictate to women as a socialist and who work for their liberation." It was the same Corinne Brown to chair the May 3 1908 , because the absence of the official designated in the conference held every Sunday from Party Socialist Chicago in the Garrick Theater: the conference, to which all women were invited, was called "Woman's Day, the day of women. In fact, there was discussion of the operational exploitation by employers against women workers in terms of low wages and hours of labor, gender discrimination and voting rights to women.
that initiative did not follow immediately, but at the end of the American Socialist Party urged all local branches' to reserve the last Sunday in February 1909 for organizing a demonstration in favor of women's right to vote. " So it was that the United States and the first official Women's Day was celebrated on February 28 1909 .
The Copenhagen Conference (1910)
the agendas of the session and in resolutions passed in that conference does not appear that the present 100 women representing 17 countries have set up a day dedicated to women's rights: it is, however, in Die Gleichheit, written by Clara Zetkin, a motion for the establishment of the International Women's Day was "was taken as a resolution."
While the U.S. continues to be held on the last Sunday of February, in some countries European - Germany , Austria , Switzerland and Denmark - International Women's Day was held for the first time March 19 1911 [1] on the choice of the Secretariat of the International Socialist Women. According to the testimony of Aleksandra Kollontaj , That date was chosen because, in Germany , "the March 19 1848 the king during the revolution of Prussia had for the first time to recognize the power of a people in arms and surrender before the threat of a proletarian revolt. Among the many promises made that and then forgot, included the recognition of the right of women to vote. " In France, the event was held on March 18 1911, when it fell on the fortieth anniversary of Paris Commune [2] .
But it was not repeated every year, not celebrated in all countries in Russia was held for the first time in St. Petersburg only 1913 the March 3 initiative of Bolshevik Party , with a rally in the stock market Kalašaikovskij, and was interrupted by the Tsarist police that operated numerous arrests. In Germany, after the celebration of 1911, was repeated for the first time ' March 8 1914 , first day of a "Red Week "proclaimed by the German socialists of unrest, while in France held a demonstration organized by Socialist Party to Paris the March 9.
The March 8, 1917
The celebrations were interrupted by World War in all the belligerent countries, while in St. Petersburg, the ' March 8 1917 - the February 23 according to the Julian calendar then in force in Russia - the women of the capital led a large demonstration which demanded an end to war: the sluggish reaction of the Cossacks sent to quell the protest, encouraged further protests that led to the collapse of Tsarism, now completely discredited and even without the support of the armed forces, so that ' March 8, 1917 has remained in history to indicate the beginning of "Revolution Russia in February. " For this reason, and to fix a common day for all countries, the June 14 1921 the Second International Conference of Communist women held to Moscow a week before the opening of the third congress of ' Communist International , stared at the March 8 "International Day of the worker."
In Italy the International Women's Day was held for the first time only in 1922 , spearheaded by Communist Party of Italy , who wanted to celebrate the March 12 , as the first Sunday after the now fateful March 8. In those days it was founded the biweekly magazine companion, the 1 March 1925 reported an article Lenin , who died the previous year, recalled that on 8 March as International Women's Day, which had taken an active part in the struggles social and in the overthrow of Tsarism.
The strong political connotation of the International Women's Day, the political isolation of Russia and the communist movement and, finally, the events of WWII , contributed to the loss of memory the actual historical origins of the event. So after the war began to circulate fanciful versions , according to which the March 8 would remember the deaths of hundreds of workers in the fire in a non-existent or Cottons Cotton shirt factory in 1908 New York, possibly causing confusion with a real tragedy that occurred in that city March 25 1911 , the ' factory fire Triangle , in which they died 146 workers, mostly young immigrant women from ' Europe . Other versions cited the violent police repression of a textile workers union alleged event took place in New York in 1857 , [3] while others related to strikes or accidents occurring Chicago, Boston or New York.
Despite the research carried out by different feminists in the late 70 and 80 have demonstrated the fallacy of these reconstructions, the same is still widespread among media that the propaganda of organizations union .
appears mimosa
In the years of 1950 years of the Cold War and the Ministry Scelba , distribute or disseminate that day mimosa We women , the monthly 's Union of Italian Women (UDI), was an act "likely to disturb public order", and hold a banquet on the street became "illegal occupation of public land." [10] In 1959 the parliamentary Pina Palumbo, Giuliana Nenni Luisa Balboni and presented a bill to make International Women's Day a national holiday, but the initiative fell on deaf ears.
The political climate improved in the following decade, but the applicant still did not get the public hearing until, with seventies in Italy appeared a new phenomenon: the feminist movement.
The 1975 was designated as "International Year of Women" by UN el ' March 8 women's organizations around the world just celebrated the International Women's Day, with events honoring the Advancement of Women and recalled the need for continued vigilance to ensure that their equality was achieved and maintained in all aspects of civic life. From that year also UN recognized in 8 March, the day dedicated to women.
Two years later, in December 1977 , the General Assembly UN adopted a resolution proclaiming a "United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace " be observed by member States on any day of the year, in accordance with national and historical traditions of each state. By adopting this resolution, the Assembly recognized the role of women in peace efforts and recognized the urgent need to end discrimination and increase support for a full and equal participation of women in civil and social life of their country.
