The toll-free number 1522
“To get out of violence, women need to have someone to tell what is happening, to know that there is an alternative.
1522 offers it”, explains Elisa Ercoli, the president of the Differenza Donna association, which manages the anti-violence and anti-stalking number on behalf of the Equal Opportunities Department of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
Ercoli also pointed out that violence against women is so pervasive that it makes them feel caged.
They can get out of it by giving the information.
The anti-violence and stalking number is "a protected and safe space that welcomes and supports the narrative of women", explained the manager of 1522 for Differenza Donna, Maria Spiotta.
“It's free and accessible 24 hours a day.
The operators respond in 11 languages,” she added.
Furthermore, 1522 is also active with a chat available on the site and app "where a robot does not answer, but people in the flesh".

Libellula Foundation: ''Women's time is essentially time spent for others''
Not only in the workplace: cases of gender discrimination occur above all in the home, undermining women's independence: only 9.3% are responsible for financial decisions in the family.
A lack of equality aggravated by the imbalance in the division of workloads: 3 out of 4 women (76%) are not happy with the division of household chores and one out of two claims to take care of the children exclusively.
This was confirmed by more than 4,000 women involved by the Dragonfly Foundation in the survey taken up by the campaign ''The truth cannot remain in the shadows''.
The Libellula Foundation, the Foundation that was born in 2020 from a social responsibility project of Zeta Service and which today boasts a network of about 80 virtuous companies (including Barilla, Furla, Esselunga, Montenegro, Randstad, Zurich).
