Gender-based violence - Auditorium Banco BPM (22/01/2026)

Gender-based violence has many faces: physical abuse is the most visible one, but it is not the only one.

Spreading stereotypes about women, about parenting, and about the career advancement of female workers; controlling a partner’s finances; belittling her work, her projects, and her opinions. Gender-based violence manifests itself in different ways, some more visible than others: standing together to challenge every form of discrimination and injustice is essential.

On Thursday, January 22, we discussed this during the second presentation of the new issue. Valentina Dolciotti moderated the contributions of:

• Licia Ciocca, Head of Diversity, Inclusion & Social Responsibility at Banco BPM;
• Flora Bova, Director at Ipsos;
• Delia Ciccarelli, Impact Director at McDonald’s Italy;
• Stefania Mastroeni, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Leader, IKEA Italy Retail;
• Paola Metalla, President of the Association L’Orsa Minore;
• Carlo Crudele, Founder of Parola Ai Padri.

Thanks to Banco BPM for hosting us and to everyone who joined us. You can find the full video of the event below.
