(Adnkronos) - Bper Banca rinnova il proprio impegno contro la violenza economica con il lancio della terza edizione della campagna di raccolta fondi “Insieme per le Donne”, promossa in favore del Fondo Autonomia di D.i.Re - Donne in Rete contro la violenza. L'iniziativa è nata per supportare le donne accolte nei centri antiviolenza e nelle case rifugio, gestiti dalle organizzazioni che compongono D.i.Re e che supportano oltre 20 mila donne all'anno, molte delle quali si trovano senza risorse economiche necessarie per raggiungere una vera autonomia.

00:00Supporting the women in the anti-violence centers and in the refugee camps managed by the organizations that make up the association D.I.R.E.
00:12Women on the Net Against Violence and that support more than 20,000 women a year, many of which are without the necessary economic resources to achieve real autonomy.
00:22This is the aim of the third edition of the fund-raising campaign together for women, promoted by BiperBanca in favor of the Autonomy Fund of D.I.R.E.
00:32launched in Rome at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art.
00:36In particular, we are very focused on the commitment in the field of economic violence,
00:42an area that we obviously feel close to our bank being, where we believe and want to contribute to make a difference,
00:52both from an informative point of view, so here is the VadeMekun that we have created,
00:57which will be distributed in our subsidiaries, which is also available on the site, but also through this fundraising.
01:03BIPER, as every year, donates 100,000 euros and invites all customers and non-customers to donate,
01:10to collect this economic contribution that will then be given to women who,
01:15guests of the violence centers, want and can try to rebuild a life.
01:22According to the data of the association D.I.R.E., 34.6% of women who access their centers have suffered economic violence,
01:30a form of control that seriously hinders the ability of women to self-determine and build an independent future.
01:37It affects, of course it affects, because many times it is a factor that inhibits the emergence of violence,
01:44it is a form of violence that prevents women from assuming the will to free themselves from other forms of violence,
01:53precisely because of economic difficulties.
01:56There are many behaviors of economic violence normalized in our culture,
02:01from the economic dependence towards the only worker partner,
02:05to the lack of access to the current shared account, to the lack of payment of food in case of divorce.
02:11These behaviors are actually transversal, they can concern all women.
02:15Unfortunately, no one is completely safe and secure.
02:20Certainly, a fundamental step to be potentially freer is awareness.
02:27It is what we do today, it is what we do with BIPER,
02:30also with financial literacy courses and with all the activities that BIPER carries out.
02:36Women's protection is what makes them say every day and every night of their work.
