The Veneto Centre for Women Project meets with the Mathematics Department
22.04.2024
The Department of Mathematics of the University of Padua hosts three meetings with volunteers from the Centro Veneto Progetto Donna (CVPD). Each meeting will discuss creating positive and inclusive relationships to ensure that the department is a protective and respectful place to study and work.
CVPD is a voluntary association that offers support to Italian and non-Italian women in difficulty due to domestic violence or other forms of mistreatment. Specialized psychologists are available to discuss issues related to gender and intra-family violence thanks to their continuous accredited training.
The Center is a place where women can be heard, a place where they are given proper attention, respect, and support. Women experiencing intimate partner violence and abuse are given tools that encourage personal growth to help them move forward towards a healthy life.
Students of the Mathematics Department are introduced to the Centre by the volunteers Stefania Loddo and Sara Achenza on Tuesday 23 April (12:30 pm, room 1A150), the volunteers will then be available to meet with students in room 7B2 from 1:45 pm to 2:30 pm. Meetings are held in Italian.
