The Italian Feminist movement

Data, challenges and sustainability

Semia launches a pioneering survey on the contemporary feminist movement. The first preview of the report "The Italian Feminist movement: data, challenges and sustainability", the unprecedented snapshot of Italian organizations in support of gender equality, will be presented on December 14th at the Casa Internazionale delle Donne, located at Via della Lungara, 19 in Rome.

Why an Italian Feminist Fund

There is a large gender equality gap between Italy and the rest of Europe, and our indicators are worsening. Strong cultural stereotypes characterise our country, where the female employment rate is the lowest in Europe. In addition to this, Italy faces a growing, worrying wave of male violence against women, fierce discrimination against LGBTQI+ people, and a constant struggle for the full recognition of the reproductive rights of Italian women and girls.
