'Parthenope Women's Week' began this morning, a week promoted by the Comitato Unico di Garanzia of Parthenope University to debate the topic of women's rights, in view of the celebrations for March 8.
Meetings, debates and seminars identified with a 'Call for proposal' to which over 40 professors responded, presenting research projects focused on 'pink' topics, including: 'women and work', 'gender gaps in education', 'female entrepreneurship', 'women, sport and health', 'women in complex organizations'.
'After the week promoted by Cug on the occasion of November 25th to discuss the dramatic issue of violence against women – underlined the President of the CUG, Prof. Maria Ferrara – now let's dedicate a week to the debate on women's rights, on political, social and economic achievements and on how much still needs to be done. We must recognize and value the contribution of women and work to achieve full equality of rights".
First day of work introduced by the Rector Antonio Garofalo: “As an economist, I like to think with numbers, and I was struck by a work written by the study center of the Chamber of Deputies last December: if there are less than ten million women employed in our country, men reach 13 million, and this despite the actions promoted by the Government, in our area by the Ministry of University, to reduce the gap also thanks to the PNRR funds. This means that, if much has been done, there is still much to do. Let us also remember that, with regard to academic recognition of the gender gap, 2023 saw the Nobel Prize in Economics awarded to Professor Claudia Goldin of Harvard University who deals with these issues, so awareness is strong. I am sure that in a short time we will no longer talk about equalizing rights but about seeking rights that are common to all workers”.
A very engaging moment was the one with the actress Rosaria De Cicco and her monologue Donne 2.0, an excursus on women told through her works and those of authors from our land such as Eduardo de Filippo, Annibale Ruccello and Ernesto Murolo.
The conclusion was entrusted to the singer STE who told the boys with extreme simplicity and great empathy her personal and artistic experience, her arrival in Naples with the guidance of her mother and the help of a Neapolitan family, the difficult moments and the great satisfactions later achieved thanks to music. Grand finale with her singing performance 'Anema e core' amidst the emotional applause of the audience.
