00:00There are economic violence behaviors that are normalized in our culture.
00:08For example, when the partner works and the woman doesn't,
00:12and the woman is forced to beg every day to have money just to do the shopping.
00:17When, for example, there is a check at the counter,
00:21when a shared account is managed independently and the partner does not have access to it,
00:27when, in the moment of separation or divorce, food money is not given.
00:33These behaviors are actually transversal.
00:35They can concern all women.
00:37Unfortunately, no one is completely safe and secure.
00:42Certainly, a fundamental step to be potentially freer is awareness.
00:50What we do today is what we do with BIPER,
00:53also with financial literacy courses and with all the activities that BIPER carries out.
00:59Women's protection is what makes them say in every day and every night of their work.
01:04The data that tells us that complaints are increasing.
01:07If we want to read them with a positive lens,
01:10we can read them thinking that just from the moment that women are more aware, they complain more.
01:15There is a whole phenomenon of complaints that happen inside the house.
01:18Unfortunately, what we see with the complaints is just the tip of the iceberg.
01:23Young men are giving us a lot of hope.
01:26There is still a lack, this is the big cultural step that is still missing,
01:30of a collective awareness of gender.
01:33It is also a call to action for men who have never been violent,
01:38who would never be violent, but now we need to hear the words, the closeness and the support.
