Ideas arising from the experience on the field are usually the best ones to change things.
It was such an awareness to give life to the non-profit organization “Hands off Women – HOW”, the informal group of women and associations which promotes the Worldwide Network HOW – with its acronym implying the concept of how to find a global and international solution to a still too widespread phenomenon: violence against women which, in all its representations, is numbered among the most severe and systematic forms of Human Rights Violation and among the most awful consequences of sex disparity.
The non-profit organization Hands off Women – HOW aims at internationally crossing any ideological barriers, any differences of opinion and culture in the name of a common goal: create instruments, actions and collaborations, share good practices and training backgrounds, and strengthen the fight against violence on women, letting victims feel they are not alone and making them be more aware of the defence and protection instruments available.
