Breast cancer patients in Italy face job security fears

A meeting held at the Chamber of Deputies in Rome addressed the challenges faced by women returning to or maintaining employment following a breast cancer diagnosis. The event, titled ‘Tumor and work: living and working after a breast cancer diagnosis’, was organized by deputies Silvio Giovine and Enzo Amich, and promoted by EuropaDonna Italia in collaboration with Bistoncini Partners.

Data indicates that 42% of women in Italy fear losing their jobs in the event of a serious illness. Participants emphasized the need for better institutional support, clearer information, and increased collaboration between services and businesses to ensure that health needs can be reconciled with the right to work without facing excessive bureaucratic or organizational obstacles.
