Anul acesta, de 8 Martie, printre flori și bomboane, am ales să discutăm și despre altceva. România este țara din Uniunea Europeană cu cel mai mare număr de cazuri de violență domestică și mulți dintre noi suntem din generația celor care au crescut cu dictonul „bătăia e ruptă din rai”. Așadar, o dezbatere e binevenită oricând, cu atât mai mult de Ziua Femeii. Am avut în această discuție perspectiva comisarului de poliție care luptă pentru prevenție, am avut viziunea judecătorului care trebuie să tranșeze lucrurile în litera legii în cazuri atât de delicate în care spiritul bate litera și am avut optica sociologului care ne-a făcut să înțelegem cum am ajuns aici ca societate. A fost un bun moment să ne amintim și că avem o aplicație, Bright Sky, dezvoltată de Fundația Vodafone pe care ne putem baza pentru a ne informa si a stopa abuzul, dar și politica internă de resurse umane prin care oferim sprijin angajaților care trec printr-o astfel de situație. Subiectul nu este simplu, nu se poate tranșa într-o oră jumate, între două ședințe, dar contează că am început de undeva. Ne-am promis să reluăm subiectul și să facem fiecare mai mult pentru victimele violenței domestice pentru că orice schimbare în societate începe de la individ. Mulțumim, Angela Chirvăsuță, Tarlion Lorena, Dan Petre, Teodora Munteanu, Angela Galeța și întreagii echipe Fundația Vodafone pentru unul dintre cele mai emoționante evenimente interne de până acum. Muțumim, Nedim Baytorun și Nicolae Vilceanu pentru extra bucuria adusă colegelor noastre. #BrightSky #DomesticViolance #InternationalWomenDay

Under the umbrella of HeForShe, UN Women, supported by the Vodafone Foundation, has today published the first research into FTSE100 companies’ support for employees experiencing domestic violence and abuse. With 82% of FTSE 100 companies surveyed offering some kind of support to survivors, domestic violence and abuse is increasingly seen as an issue employers should address to ensure a safe and supportive work environment.   Vodafone launched its global domestic abuse policy in 2019. Vodafone Foundation helps people affected by domestic abuse to find local support and advice through its Bright Sky app, which is now live in 13 countries and has had nearly a million downloads to date.
