A wall of dolls to combat violence against women
With the start of the men's fashion week in Milan, the first edition of Wall of Dolls took place, an installation against violence against women and femicides.
In via De Amicis 2, on one of the walls of the "House of Rights", hundreds of dolls created and customized by 50 brands representing MADE in ITALY, 20 writers and artists and 16 non-profit organizations, were posted together to demonstrate their refusal. towards the world of violence against women.
At the launch of the initiative, in addition to councilors Pierfrancesco Majorino and Cristina Tajani, councilor Rosaria Iardino, there were Jane Reeve, CEO of the Chamber of Fashion, Jo Squillo testimonial of Wall of Dolls, Giusy Versaci and Valentina Pizsalis living proof of the atrocities that women can suffer.
Unfortunately, the numbers regarding episodes of violence against women are still high: in Europe one in three women is the victim of physical or sexual violence on a daily basis. In Italy, fortunately, the numbers are slowly decreasing, but the worrying thing is the spread of silence among friends and family.
To continue raising awareness on the issue and contribute to the construction of a new culture in respect of women, the installation will continue its path in the main Italian and European cities.
Wall of Dolls will be present in Milan until the end of the men's fashion week.
