Gino Cecchettin, following the death of his daughter, advocates against violence towards women and will speak at the Ariston stage regarding his foundation’s efforts.
After the tragic death of his daughter Giulia on November 11, 2023, Gino Cecchettin has embarked on a personal and public battle against violence towards women. This evening, he will take his fight to the prestigious Ariston stage, where he aims to raise awareness about femicide and contribute to the conversation surrounding this important issue. The event, which has garnered attention, was announced by Claudio Fasulo, the Deputy Director of Prime Time Entertainment at Rai, emphasizing the significance of the discussion led by Cecchettin and his foundation.
At the forefront of this initiative, Cecchettin's foundation recently launched a compelling campaign with a powerful message: "Violence does not emerge suddenly; it infiltrates our culture. If we do not change, only the names of the victims will change." This statement serves as a call to action directed at all men, urging them to become part of the solution by understanding consent and boundaries, and by intervening amongst peers to halt inappropriate behaviors.
The platform of the festival's final evening offers Cecchettin a crucial opportunity to amplify the message against gender-based violence. By addressing such a significant audience, he hopes not only to honor his daughter’s memory but also to inspire societal change in attitudes and behaviors towards women, making this event a landmark moment in the fight against domestic violence and femicide in Italy.
