Our Goals
ENSURE NECESSARY FUNDING
We work to increase the quantity and quality of funding and support for anti-violence centers, organizations, individuals, and projects that uphold the rights of girls and women, and promote self-determination and economic independence.
PROMOTE KNOWLEDGE
We foster the development of new collective paths and support the individual and organizational know-how.
SPREAD A CULTURE OF DIFFERENCE
We connect feminist knowledge with political, social, and cultural networks and organizations in Italy and across Europe, focusing on those explicitly committed to fighting all forms of violence against women.
Una Nessuna Centomila does not aim to invest only in explicitly feminist spaces, but seeks to build a new paradigm shift by influencing the broader Italian cultural landscape through paths of exchange, dialogue, and alliances.
To achieve this, we commit to:
- Build the “Una Nessuna Centomila Cultural Platform”
- Organize events, concerts, exhibitions, and cultural initiatives with the dual purpose of:
- Raising awareness on gender discrimination and male violence against women, and
- Fundraising to activate and support anti-violence centers and shelters
- Promote cultural, educational, training, prevention, and informational initiatives, as well as emotional education programs to act early against the development of gender stereotypes
- Support and amplify experiences of agency and empowerment, and strengthen the autonomy of women emerging from violence, in order to shift the narrative around “victims”
