Statement against racism and sexism
The International House of Women in Rome, a meeting point and political rallying centre for Italian and migrant women, has released a statement against racism and sexism which has been ratified by several organisations. The joint declaration denounces Italy's current policies and legislation towards exploited and excluded migrants which fosters precariousness and feeds new forms of popular racism resulting in increased episodes of inhumanity and violence. The International House of Women seek namely to conduct an analysis of the living and working conditions of immigrant women in Italy with specific emphasis on their right to access health care.
