An initiative proposed by the IDUSI Law Institute and the IALS Institute of Argumentation, Linguistics and Semiotics with Ciao Table, Swiss RJ Forum, Objectif Désistance and The Swiss RJ Forum.

We are surrounded in every sphere by numerous expressions of violence. Perhaps in order to defend ourselves, not to be involved or hurt by it, or simply not to feel passive accomplices, we sometimes ignore it, misunderstand it or justify it.
The aim of this day is to ask ourselves about our ability to support each other in recognising violence in all its forms, to detect it and to offer support to those around us such as family members, friends, colleagues or acquaintances who perform it or suffer it.
Often, we wish we could stop the violence, but we do not know how and whether to act. Therefore, a valuable resource potential remains untapped.
 How to help?

The event is open to the public upon registration at this link .
 It will be held in Italian.
