Ceremony to light up Palazzo Chigi for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

“We are here this evening to tell Italian women that they are not alone, and we are doing so with a telephone number. You can see it here behind me: 1522. If you’re scared, you can call this number at any time and you’ll find someone on the other end of the line who can help you immediately, because the regulations are there, the Institutions are there, and Italian women need to know it” said the President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, during her speech at the ceremony to light up Palazzo Chigi’s main façade for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
