Monday, September 18 to 21, with Betty and Books Via Rialto, 23 / a - Bologna
In recent months the problem of violence against women in the city is coming back strongly to the fore. We know that is not the media attention devoted to violence against women

public meeting to participate in the project Macho Free Zone.
