BOLZANO. The Provincial Commission for Equal Opportunities for Women welcomes the decision of the President of the Province of Bolzano, Arno Kompatscherto cancel, as a matter of principle, his participation in the “HDS Evening for the Economy” under the motto “Lust for the Future!”, since only men are expected to be among the speakers.
Just in yesterday’s session, the provincial council decided yesterday to join the “No Women – No Panel” initiative. “To think that a topic can be explored and explored in a conference without the point of view of women and that we must ‘pay attention to the substance and not the form’ means that women’s experience and competence are still considered by many to be a decoration”, declared the president of the commission, Ulrike Oberhammer.
“President Kompatscher – continues the president of the commission – did well to demonstrate concretely, with a gesture that says more than a thousand words, that it is not possible to do without women at the event of the South Tyrolean Union of Commerce, Tourism and Services and we hope that many others will follow the example”. “We need many men who are friends of women, who become aware that in a society of men and women, it is not only up to men to shape the dominant thought, occupying all the public space with their unique experience”, concludes Oberhammer.
