Marghine is not immune to gender-based violence. To address this phenomenon, this area now also has a safe space, a welcoming refuge for victims. This space, called "The Room for You," was created with the support of the Nuoro chapter of Soroptimist Italia, within the Carabinieri barracks.
This is a space designed to welcome victims of gender-based violence and minors who decide to seek help from the Carabinieri. It complements the existing shelter at the Nuoro Provincial Command headquarters, also created in collaboration with Soroptimist, and renews a decade-long partnership between the Carabinieri and Soroptimist.
The inauguration was attended by the province's highest military and civil authorities, as well as by the Prefect of Nuoro, Alessandra Nigro, representatives of the Local Health Authority (ASL) and local social workers, along with Franco Scanu, President of the Union of Municipalities of Marghine, representatives of the ASL and school principals, as well as representatives of associations.
Colonel Gennaro Cassese explains: "This is a new tool available not only to law enforcement but, above all, to citizens to build a trench, to contain and defeat this phenomenon." Prefect Alessandra Nigro adds: "It's a commendable initiative. This room is a commitment for those who work there, a promise to the victims, but above all, it is a sign of the State's presence in this area. Beyond their moral rigor and commitment, there's a great deal of heart in the Carabinieri's work. And then there's a great desire to build a community."
The president of Soroptimist Nuoro, Giovanna Inoria Anna Pittorra: "The room in Macomer is also informally furnished to make the victim and any children there feel at ease. There are many people who support this initiative."
That room will now become a point of reference for the entire area, and will also operate in collaboration with the Anti-Violence Center, established by the Union of Municipalities.
