February 6 – Dear Director,
are very concerned about incidents of sexism. Episodes directed first toward the woman who holds the third position in the State, then to other parliamentarians from different parties.
I’m worried as a woman doctor. I can not speak on behalf of all women doctors, who do not have a single indistinct, but I write having in mind the work and expertise of many colleagues, many experiences and so many faces.
When my identity doctor takes precedence over the kind of fear I think that the current climate is overflowing, MPs from the fields from which they originated, to those of the newspaper with a significantly detrimental to the integrity and health of women.
This sexism, which does not allow the place of mediation and representation possible arrangements, in the places of life produces slatentizzazioni instincts buried and removed, and makes target the awareness of the identity of the woman.
Do not you feel a nostalgic chorus condemning those attacks of sexual dominance that demean the dignity and worth of all people, women in particular.

It is reasonable to think that there might be an increase in acts of emulation in the belief that they can, at least protected places of parliament, go unpunished?
In a complex system, with conditions close to the imbalance, even minimal stress can cause large effects from features that are not predictable. The acts harbingers of violence, certainly not the minimum stress, can have repercussions, not quantifiable at this time, the health of the population in terms of loss of job performance and increase psychosomatic disorders.

I ask that you be at the highest political levels, a significant response and impactful, not just words. I ask that in response to the sexism, assume the commitment of political representation, equal, measure of the degree of civilization of a country and today is no priority topic.
In this situation the electoral law of the proposers who will accept the proposal without beating around the bush, born from an alliance cross of women in Parliament and supported by many other women, to be introduced in the electoral law currently under discussion, the simple alternation of gender, a woman – a man, and the equal 50-50 of the list headers? And those who want to prevent it calendarizzata the proposed new law for the European to avoid the risk of vote by laws prior to 2005 that had no presence in the lists of the underrepresented gender?

An agreement for a true equal representation it will not be a panacea for all problems. It will be one of the signs of the change that Italians expect.
That we start from a simple action to restore certainty to the dignity of the people …
