Gendered violence in Italy. A cultural problem findings gathered from an action research project

In recent year public awareness and mobilization against sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women (rape, domestic violence, stalking) have increased, thanks also to digital media activism and mass media attention. Yet gendered violence still continues to be one of the most serious human rights violations in the world today, deeply rooted in everyday life and directed not only against women, but also against men and the sexual minority identities.

Building genealogies, learning from feminism. Women as designers and planners

The Twentieth Century has been full of changes, especially for women. The urban space conquest has led not only to greater freedom of movement, but also set up a lot of opportunities for designers and planner.
In the past, we have been muses, then illuminated clients, then users (Griswold Tyng 1989; Gallucci, Mattogno 2000). Today we are aware of our role in planning and designing. We are conscious that our field of study and practice has expanded from the private space to the public realm (Mattogno 2013).
