Da quest'anno sono iscritta all'UDI, Unione Donne in Italia .
Quando è nato mio figlio ho avuto modo di constatare sulla mia pelle quanto maternità e pari opportunità siano poco tutelate in questo paese, e quanto tutte le battaglie delle femministe degli anni '70 in questi ultimi tempi siano state completamente vanificate. Volevo fare qualcosa, non mi piace stare a guardare, e così I remembered when my mom took me to meetings of hearing, I was around the age of my puppy. So I contacted, I paid the note and the card arrived. I was informed what were the contacts of my city, I exchanged some emails with them and regularly invited me to their meetings and initiatives. Unfortunately, these meetings so far have been incompatible with my mom hours / worker. The delegate of the club of my city, however, had offered to meet me and so last Saturday we finally managed to give us an appointment for a coffee.
E 'was a very pleasant and spoke to me of their group, the history of the association and the various conferences that have followed. I've told me, the reasons that prompted me to sign up and try to join other women who want to fight for the same goals. I told her of motherhood that I have not been paid , that I felt completely alone, as if the choice of having a child does not only deal with me and the entire society. She, a woman of about fifty and still going strong, has no family but shared very well what I said. But he confirmed what I had already guessed in the previous months: the other udine are women of a certain age, and those who have children they have already grown up now. Do not deal with politics, issues of this kind, and I understand. In fact, the invitations were addressed to me were for meetings on the status of Muslim women, or for the day against violence against women. All issues of fundamental importance, and I was very disappointed not to participate. But honestly I would personally take care of issues closer to me ... and I hoped to be reflected in your hearing.
I was glad this conversation was interesting and I was able to make friends with a beautiful person. It remains just a little bit of bitterness and a bit of disappointment to the women of my generation. Possible that in my town there are other mothers / workers who want to be heard, to do something active to change things?
It seems to me an impression unfortunately consistent with the situation of our generation in our country: it's all in the hands of people over fifty, and we think we should be in the workforce, one that holds the economy, we are only and look at most there are crumbs. But to what extent those who are older than us, leave us little room, we close the doors in the face? We are not ourselves that we are reclining, that we think we are still 'boys', we leave they are 'old' to decide for us? What is certain is that until a fully delegated them some battles, we do not, will get anything good. How can a woman who have experienced certain problems and outdated for a while, fighting for my maternity leave, for my nursery for my equality? Why should he?
But the point is that everyone thinks of her little garden, do not look beyond their noses. Even now I have a contract that protect me, right or wrong I can pay him asylum. I might give a damn and let it go. But I can not stand to watch, definitely not.
This meeting, however, convinced me to renew your membership, now the association has a 'face' and it seems right to continue to support it. Maybe I should involve other friends, so you will not be the only representative of my 'category'. Who knows ...
