The importance of raising public awareness
“Whoever make information has the task, and in some cases the duty, to raise public awareness of issues that are close to our hearts. For this reason I too try in my small way to put my “influence” at the service of something socially useful». Involved in the social sphere, the model in fact ranges with her initiatives from the question of children to that of women.
A few months ago, at Le Iene, the presenter spoke in my mother’s language, Farsi, a message to Iranian women. And in the House he repeated what that appeal contained.
«I told them that there are many women here in Italy who support their cultural battle. So please, now, with all my heart, don’t forget what is happening in Iran, because there women have been suffering for many years, every dayunheard-of violence and today more than ever they need help”.
And then to conclude: «Violence against women it is probably the most shameful violation of human rights and probably the most pervasive; it knows no geographical, cultural or economic boundaries. As long as it continues we cannot claim to be pursuing real progress of equality, development and peace».
