Unitus for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

On the afternoon of November 25, in the presence of the Rector, the University of Tuscia will host two events dedicated to commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

At 3:00 p.m., in the “Corridoio delle Monofore” of the Rectorate, the Digital Exhibition titled “Women Who Move: A Tribute to Women’s Strength on 25/11” will take place, featuring the photographic projects of five professional photographers. The common thread is a visual exploration of the different expressions of strength and resilience among migrant women. The exhibition, curated by Sonia Melchiorre and Daniela Vitiello, was organized with the patronage of the CUG and supported by the CoSME project (PRIN 2/2022).

Following this, in the “Mahsa Amini” courtyard of the Rectorate, the second edition of “Paint it Red” will be held, a flash mob organized by the UNITUS student associations under the coordination of Sonia Melchiorre. The flash mob aims to raise awareness about the dangers of emotional manipulation (gaslighting) and to acknowledge the dignity of women who live in this condition, recognizing their need to be seen and supported. Anyone wishing to participate may contribute with a pair of used shoes, which will be sprayed red and later placed as “stumbling stones” in the city center and on the university campus.
