ENOUGH

I think only a few people now do not know that today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999 and calls on governments, international organizations and non-governmental organizations to raise awareness in public opinion on the subject.
Italy was slow in adopting this initiative. It was first marked only in 2005 and even in subsequent years the observance was low-keyed. Today, however, there are over 100 initiatives organized throughout Italy to mark November 25 as the day to say no to violence of any kind and in all its forms. As always social networks and the internet played an important role.
And even we, in our small way, wish add our voice to those who are raising theirs to shout NO not only to femicide but to all forms of violence no matter how small that – according to national statistics bureau Istat – involve one woman out of three in Italy. A total of 6.743 million women between the ages of 16 and 70 have suffered some form of violence, 31.9% of the total.
To ask what the world of wine has to do with all this would be a captious question. We all live in the same world and this is a struggle for civility that regards all of us.
Men and women contribute in equal measure to the creation of Doctor Wine, professionalism has no gender. Each one of us – man or woman – contributes according to their knowledge, ability and experience. Yet we are all convinced that a woman who is a victim of violence must be helped to rebel against and free herself from her persecutor (or persecutors). This until no woman will any longer be molested, beaten or killed just because she is a woman.
