As part of the global Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women campaign, Zonta Milano Sant’Ambrogio, Italy, welcomed representatives from the Milan Women Council and CAP Milano, the local water utility, for a meaningful review of the “Alla Pari” project. The session featured real experiences and examples from companies committed to preventing gender-based violence within the workplace.

The project is the result of a joint effort between the Milan Women Council (an umbrella group of 18 associations with multidisciplinary expertise in gender equality, including Zonta Milano Sant’Ambrogio), CAP Milano and its network of suppliers. Together, they work under a shared memorandum of understanding to foster a culture of respect, equality and prevention. Their commitment aims to fight all forms of discrimination and violence, with a special focus on violence against women, both at work and in society.

“Creating a respectful and equitable workplace is not a symbolic gesture, but a daily responsibility,” emphasized Elena Federici, moderator of the event and our club’s representative within the Milan Women Council. The event engaged participants both in person and online.
