Spezia Calcio joins forces with Differenza Donna to launch #WeForShe initiative

Awareness campaign against gender violence is launched in partnership with Italian NGO on the International day for the elimination of violence against women. Spezia Calcio will wear special shirts in Serie A match against Bologna and auction them to raise funds for charity 

Spezia, November 25 - On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Spezia Calcio is taking the field alongside those who fight gender-based violence every day, choosing to collaborate with Differenza Donna - an NGO that operates nationally and internationally against male violence against women, as well as the management centre of 1522, the Italian national toll-free number for Anti-Violence and Stalking.

Differenza Donna ONG was founded in 1989 with the aim of exposing, fighting, preventing, and overcoming gender-based violence. The NGO - which has hundreds of volunteers, operators, and activists with different professional skills - carries out both national and international projects, mostly through the strategic use of its Anti-Violence Centres, which envisions, designs, and executes as places of refuge, enhancement, life redesign and the rebirth of women. These spaces welcome all those who turn to them in times of difficulty caused by violence and abuse.

Aware of their global platform as a Serie A club, Spezia Calcio is launching an awareness initiative to clearly position itself in favour of women and against all types of gender violence. The result is the #WeForShe campaign. The wording was chosen to emphasise that only through coming together can we make a real difference and help the victims of violence and abuse to overcome the challenges they face.

On November 25, a short video shot in collaboration with Cestistica Spezzina (a women's basketball club currently playing in Serie A2) will be distributed on social media. The video will feature the words #WeForShe for the first time. The hashtag will also be printed on the front of players’ shirts during the Spezia - Bologna Serie A match, scheduled for November 28 at the Stadio Alberto Picco. These unique one-of-a-kind shirts will then be auctioned on the "Charity Stars" platform with all proceeds heading to Differenza Donna.

In addition, during the Bologna match day, Spezia Calcio will host Rahila Saya, a young Afghan girl who fled from her homeland and was welcomed by the Liguria region. Rahel, who dreams of becoming a journalist, will work with Spezia Calcio’s communication team for the day and receive an award from club management as the face and symbol of all the women who - every day, all over the world - are forced to live in unimaginable situations.

"It is a source of great pride for us to be able to collaborate with an association that fights day after day, all over the world, to lift women and their children up from terrible situations, and who too often suffer helplessly from the blind rage of unscrupulous men. We believe that being able to do something concrete to help those who suffer is not only important but absolutely necessary, so we hope that this small gesture of ours can be followed by many others because, as in a football match, only the strength of the group can lead us to victory. #WeForShe” said Spezia Calcio President Philip Platek.

"I am really happy that Differenza Donna ONG and Spezia Calcio are taking the field together against male violence against women. In recent times, our country has experienced the tragedy of femicides and filicides which force us to take a constant,  determined, and clear stand. Male violence affects us intimately because it is the most serious and widespread violation of human rights in the world. It is precisely we - who have fought as a country and as members of the European Union - who should be up to the task and a society capable of reacting to a culture that still fights to not normalise violence and to deconstruct stereotypes and prejudices that are anchoring us to a patriarchal system. With this choice, Spezia Calcio allies itself with Differenza Donna, knowing that it can involve many people in this great battle of civilization. Only countries that know how to fight male violence and affirm the human rights of women, children and young people can declare themselves truly democratic. Let us all move forward together for a better country without violence” said Elisa Ercoli, President of Differenza Donna ONG.
