Women and Politics: Let's start from the dignity

The question is: can a country afford to give up half of intelligence, feelings of energy?
Answer: no!
Too bad that's what happens in Italy, where there are no ministers, parliamentarians, regional councilors, CEOs, managers and so on. etc.. etc.. ... that women are .
You can say what you want but this is a problem and it is a political problem.
To begin take a while 'to start from far away and another question, we are sure that in the XXI century in Italy women have the same dignity as men? Before talking about the chador of others, look at the domestic hearth. In Tuscany
study these things (see here ) and speak in San Rossore. So it turns out that in 2005 there was a murder in Italy with the family every two days: in 7 out of 10 cases the victim is a woman.
translate: 183 deaths in the family, of whom 55 were men and 128 women. To me it brings to mind an Italy closed and dark, silence and a bit 'medieval. But let's move on.
"One in three women has suffered at least one physical or sexual violence.
Nearly 5% were victims of rape or attempted rape, and about half the time this was done by the partners.
in 96% cases the woman is not the complaint, and it is shown that at least one victim in three never in life will reveal to someone what happened to you "says Alessandra Kustermann , gynecologist and member of the rescue center of Milan sexual violence.
translate again, but this time I just gave the first: take 1000 women. Of these, 50 were raped and of these 25 have been abused by their partners. Not an enemy, a monster, a toxic, an immigrant. Thrilling.
wheel Conclusion: today, women in Italy do not have the same dignity as men. From here you must go. For a rebuttal
more "soft" a small step that brings us closer to the political question, here's a final figure.
Among the Lisbon objectives for 2010 states that there must be a place to nest every three children under three years.
That is to say that for children under three years should be a 33% chance of going to the nest.
Today we are 12%. And I do not see the horizon
a "National Plan for kindergartens" that makes us make a jump of 21%.
(Lisbon pushes also to increase the use of male parental leave: I do not have numbers here but I fear that we are still at negligible levels).
So it is strange that Italy will give up half of intelligence, feelings of energy, if it denies women the dignity, independence and time?
Answer: no!
A woman who is not worthy of their physical integrity, the independence of his time certainly can not aspire to be an important player in the decisions of this country.
