Slapped - The cruel destiny of women in politics #16151

Synopsis What's behind female marginalization? There is a strong resistance to the actual participation of women in politics. But, apparently, women are called on to share in the social commitment of the parties. To demonstrate what constitutes the so-called "rubber-wall" is not an easy task, but the diary of Wanda introduces a cultural and anthropological perspective that explains how, in fact, the opportunities for women to "progress equally" are non-existent. The logbook is not confined to a single place of politics, it describes the actions of public figures, most of the initiatives of women's groups and party members who have given their all, their efforts and commitment, in trying to modernize the country. Wanda talks of 15 years of political existence in Italy, of the Women’s Advisory Council, a place of involvement and "active participation" kept alive by her unshakable courage, without ever actually having the active support of her party. There are laws that require the right of political citizenship of women, most notably Articles 3, 51, and 49 of the Italian Constitution. There are rules that address a small percentage of the hated campaign finance policy in favour of women (Law no. 157 of June 3, 1999), but - as is clear from the narrative of this text - nothing has been given or received from the public money, where IDV is concerned. The "empowerment of women", is, instead, funded by themselves, committed to achieving and gaining a fundamental right.
