If not now, when?
In Italy the majority of women work outside or inside the house, create wealth, get a job (and one in two can not do it), study, sacrifices himself to succeed in the profession you have chosen, you take care of the emotional relationships and family, taking care of children, husbands, aging parents.
Many are engaged in public life, in all parties, unions, businesses, associations and volunteer work in order to make more civil, richer and more comfortable society in which they live. Account and have self-respect, freedom and dignity of women obtained with the help of many generations of women - it should be noted in the 150th unit of Italy - have built a democratic nation.
This rich and varied experience of life is erased from repeated indecent representation of women paraded naked as a sexual object of exchange offered by newspapers, television, advertising. And this is no longer tolerable.
A widespread culture offers to the younger generations to achieve goals by offering easy money and glittering beauty and intelligence to the powers that be, willing to turn to exchange them with resources and public roles. This mentality
and behaviors that are polluting the resulting social cohesion and the image which should be reflected in the civic consciousness, ethics and religion of the nation.
Thus, almost without realizing it, we passed the threshold of decency.
The model of relationship between men and women, shown off by one of the highest offices of State, profoundly affects lifestyles and the national culture, legitimizing conduct prejudicial to the dignity of women, and institutions.
Who wants to remain silent, argue, justify, reduced to private affairs of this state of affairs, assuming the heavy responsibility to do so, even before the international community.
We ask all women, without distinction, to defend the value of them, of our dignity and we say to men: if not now, when? is the time to show friendship towards women.
