Thousands of people – including women from across Europe – are traveling to Verona, Italy to protest the World Congress of Families: a network of US, Russian and other anti-abortion and anti-LGBT rights activists and their political allies.
They have responded to a call for solidarity from the Verona chapter of the Italian feminist movement Non Una di Meno (NUDM), which is organising a three-day festival, street demonstration and transnational assembly in oppostion to the anti-choice Congress.
The program of events includes panels, film screenings and discussions “between international feminist movements that, like us, find themselves having to resist the growing wave of radical and fundamentalist right [campaigns]”, says the activists’ website.
