Dear president Conte, the nominees of the State government not to forget the women News

Dear mr. president Count,

we are forty mps of different parliamentary groups, and we are part of the Intergroup for Women's Rights and Equal opportunities, created to place gender issues at the centre of the political debate-the legislative, and to work together on measures and amendments in support of the Italian women. We would like to share with you the concern that arouses still the condition of women in our Country, as far away as we are from the attainment of the fifth of the seventeen sustainable development goals of the Un that Italy must achieve by 2030: gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.

let's Start first by the violence, which continues to remain a plague along with his frequent fulfillment: the feminicide, made even more terrible by the epilogues as the recent cancellation of the appeal of the damages awarded in the first instance to the children of a woman killed by her husband. It is not permissible for the State to ask today to those three guys and the return of 250 thousand euro. Then there is the issue of sexual and reproductive health services to ensure the voluntary interruption of pregnancy, provided for by the law 194/78, are deficient due to the conscientious objection of medical and paramedical personnel, which reaches a national average of 70 percent and even 90 in the South. Another sore point: the question of work. In Italy he worked only 50 percent of women, against a european average of 62 percent, with peaks of 29% in the South of the Country.

Also, for equal work, women earn much less than men, so that their skin is consumed, what the Un has called "the greatest theft in history". And we cannot forget the serious phenomenon of discretion multiple vis-à-vis women with disabilities. Finally, there is the problem of under-representation of women: despite the fact that 51 percent of the population, have poor access to the "room". If the female presence in the board is guaranteed by the law Gulf-Moscow, you can say the same for senior positions, which continue to be almost exclusively of men, and therefore are not representative of the entire audience of professional women are fully a part.

We are, however, on the eve of the appointments in the Authority, in the tax agencies and in companies you participate in, in the next few days will renew their vertices, the board of directors and the statutory auditors. Dozens and dozens of appointments of the State, for which be identified as profiles that are suitable to give a innovative boost to companies and facilities that have a strategic role in the Italian economy. We hope, mr president, that the government at this juncture wants to pay maximum attention to gender equality - policy is all too often overlooked - in the identification of the new positions.

What concerns women concerns the development of the Country, the economy, demographics, politics and general social life of our community. For this reason, we are asking you, mr president, a meeting to discuss about an integrated action of the government, which - starting from the work of the minister Bonetti - will give a new impetus to the fight against all forms of gender discrimination. Thank you for your attention to our instance.

, A cordial greeting.
