Hello, colleagues,
You might be interested in the statement, attached below, by Italian scholars of gender and sexuality reacting about the "World Congress on Families" in Verona and other recent threats to women's rights and to gender and sexuality studies in Italy.
I'm sure Brunella would be happy to hear from you directly.
Best,
Joan Tronto
