The new Piazza dei Diritti was inaugurated in Quartu Sant'Elena, as part of the initiatives organized by the administration and associations to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The new square overlooks Viale Colombo right at the intersection with Via Paganini. " We have finally inaugurated the Piazza dei Diritti - explained the Councilor for Gender and LGBT Policies Cinzia Carta - . A journey that began with the creation of the first rainbow-colored bench in the city, dedicated to the Quartese activist Laura Grasso, who passed away a few years ago. Now, at the end of the bureaucratic process, we can also unveil the plaque and call this city garden by its new name, as strongly desired by the Municipal Administration, to represent a message of strong social impact linked to the theme of inclusion and with the aim of promoting respect for human rights".
The President of the Equal Opportunities Commission, Elisa Usalla, is of the same opinion: «I am proud to be part of this Administration that has immediately shown a strong sensitivity to the issues of respect and inclusiveness . The inauguration of this square is a demonstration of our policies. I would like this place to represent a symbol for all those people who feel oppressed, marginalized and discriminated against, and what happens in the world every day shows us that we need these initiatives. Coloring the benches, naming a square after rights are a way to talk to the new generations about respect and equality; they are small but great testimonies of the will to abolish this climate of anger and discrimination that unfortunately is still present in our society today».
The initiative was also attended by the President of the Regional Council Piero Comandini and the President of the Culture Commission of the Sardinia Region Camilla Soru , who in turn expressed their appreciation for the initiative and underlined the need to "continue to work hard for a more inclusive Sardinian community".
