The ‘Angela Morabito’ Anti-Violence Center, part of the Associazione Piccola Opera Papa Giovanni ETS, is conducting book presentations for ‘Un inferno silenzioso. La violenza di genere’ by lawyer Rosanna Certo to promote awareness regarding gender-based violence.

In Ardore, an event scheduled for August 13, 2026, aims to foster public discussion through the author’s professional experiences in supporting victims. This initiative is supported by the Municipality of Ardore and other local organizations, highlighting the role of the local listening service in providing guidance and social empowerment for women.

Following this, a presentation is scheduled for September 2, 2026, in Melito Porto Salvo. This event, held in collaboration with the local municipality, utilizes personal narratives to examine the dynamics of intimate partner violence and the challenges of seeking help. This activity is linked to the Calabria Region-funded LIA (Libera Indipendente Autonoma) Project, which established a local listening service to promote education on respect and self-determination.
