Violenza contro le Donne

Every year, there is a day that is dedicated to raising awareness about domestic (and other) violence directed against women. Different cities choose how (or if at all) to participate in this day.

This year, the manifestation in Todi was done using knitted flowers (of which I made about eight!) paired with shoes. Each set was labeled with the name, age, method of death, and date of death for a woman who had been killed in Italy.

Anonymous, 81, 22 April,
Repeated blows from a poker.

As I saw this, I reflected how relatively small this country is: while obviously the death toll by this method is too high (since it's more than zero), it is still remarkably low.

In memoriam,
