8 March 2017 “International women's day” – The reflection of women's Ordination of Acli of Cagliari

On this day devoted to women our thoughts go to all those who in the face of difficulties are Sun to fight, especially those who are victims of domestic violence.

The laws are there but the protections often remain on paper.

Recently, Italy has been condemned by the European Court of human rights for not acting quickly enough to protect a woman and her son from acts of domestic violence perpetrated by her husband. Acts of violence ended with the boy's murder ’ l. The tragedy, According to the judges of the Court, cannot be attributed to the laws in force in Italy, but all ’ attitude “passive” adopted especially by the forces of order ’ but also by the magistrates in the face of acts of domestic violence incurred and reported by the woman and the attempted murder of his wife.

for that, friends of Acli, We fight every day not only for there are more shelters for battered women but also for those who have already endured so much violence often to help protect their children can remain in their homes, without running and hiding in the world, with the assurance that their tormentors he won't hurt.

On this occasion, we remember and we express our closeness to the family of Federica Madau, the young Iglesias, that a few days ago was a victim of the violence of the Dad of her pups: Federica won't see his daughters grow up and can no longer provide them with your life.

We would like to dedicate a reflection and a thank you for their strength and their example to all those women who have managed to overcome the violence of which they were victims.

And we invite all of you, friends of Acli, to read the story of Emma Alatri, historic Roman Jewish teacher and school director, awarded last November with the title of Commander of the order of merit of Italian Republic by President Mattarella "for having transmitted with his testimony and his teachings the values of freedom, democracy and the worthlessness of hatred ".

Ms Alatri, now 90-year-old, is an example of the strength of the illustrious women always, Besides the 8 March.

Our wish is for all women who face every day of their lives with courage and determination!

Congratulations to all of us!
