Italian G7 Presidency W7 Stefania Salustri Head of Communications and Media Aspen Institute Italia Cell ‐ 335‐7919949 [email protected] NOTA PER LA STAMPA Crescita sostenibile e lotta alle disuguaglianze, la sfida delle donne Roma, 7 aprile 2017 ‐ Si apre oggi a Roma e terminerà domani 8 aprile 2017 il Forum internazionale di dialogo ʺStarting from girls. Women Forum on inequality and sustainable growthʺ. Il Forum, che si svolgerà presso il Ministero degli Affari Esteri, è organizzato in collaborazione con l’Aspen Initiative for Europe, Valore D e WE‐Women Empower the World Il Forum è aperto alla stampa nelle sessioni plenarie. Risultati e proposte saranno presentati in una conferenza stampa prevista alle ore 13:00 di sabato 8 aprile 2017 presso il Ministero degli Affari Esteri, Sala Aldo Moro. L’iniziativa della presidenza italiana del G7 si basa sulla convinzione che rafforzare diritti e capacità delle giovani donne sia una condizione indispensabile per farne agenti potenziali del cambiamento: il forum di dialogo punta a costruire un’alleanza internazionale sull’empowerment femminile, come tassello irrinunciabile di una crescita più equa e sostenibile. Verranno discusse una serie di proposte per il G7, volte a rafforzare lʹapporto delle donne alla crescita economica, la loro partecipazione al mercato del lavoro, allo sviluppo tecnologico e alla sostenibilità. Unʹattenzione specifica sarà anche dedicata ai temi delle migrazioni ‐ “women on the move” ‐ e allʹevoluzione della global care chain, con le relative implicazioni per la salute e i sistemi sanitari. La conferenza prevede in apertura un videomessaggio di Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
