The day's events will continue in the afternoon. At 5.30 p.m., the Sportello Antiviolenza (Anti-Violence Helpdesk) will be inaugurated, set up in collaboration with the E.M.M.A. Onlus Anti-Violence Centre. The Counter, active since June 2024, is a fundamental service that offers support and a listening ear to victims of violence, addressing not only the entire Polytechnic community, but also the entire citizenry. During the inauguration, male and female students will join together for a moment of reflection and sharing.
The event is open to the entire Polytechnic community and will be held in the courtyard of the university's Main Campus, between the Help Desk and the Red Bench, symbol of the rejection of violence against women.
