#OrangetheWorld #NonUnaDiMeno #NiUnaMenos #NoExcuse #TimesUp. #MeToo. Different slogans, different geographies, same message: Violence Against Women MUST come to an end. Campaigns across the globe are increasingly raising awareness, fostering gender education and supporting women in speaking out. On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we join such efforts with the simple question “#AreYouOk?”, as we very proudly celebrate that Rome #Fiumicino is the 1st airport to become a #PuntoViola - a point to which women in need can refer to receive a first and tangible support, understanding which actions to undertake in case of violence or abuses. As our CEO Marco Troncone commented, “our commitment to develop this initiative is a concrete act to promote respect and give active support, translating Aeroporti di Roma’s core values into actions”. Indeed, we worked for months alongside the nonprofit association DONNEXSTRADA to train 60 people from the airport staff to welcome women at the four dedicated desks placed at our airport’s Info Points; they followed a structured course, guided by experts who provided them with all the necessary know-how to identify and handle cases of violence, recognizing all forms of abuse, including verbal and psychological. This way, we aim at making women’s voices heard even louder. We do it as a conscious community, united by the concrete will to make a difference and protect the rights of all. We do it for all women, girls and boys, in the hope that, when they pass through our airports, they will feel safe, aware and empowered members of a society that strongly fights for #NoViolenceAgainstWomen! #TogetherBeyondFlying
