Overview
- Organisers said about 70,000 people marched in Rome under the banner of Non una di Meno to denounce gender-based violence and patriarchy.
- Demonstrators used pink smoke, a keys flash mob, and projections on Santa Maria Maggiore, with Palestinian and trans flags visible and some Pro Vita e Famiglia posters burned near the group’s office.
- Non una di Meno cited 78 femicides since the start of the year and called for structural policy changes rather than slogans.
- Ministers Eugenia Roccella and Giuseppe Valditara presented the separate 'Corri Libera' initiative with roughly 5,000 registrations and pointed to parliamentary consideration on 25 November.
- Justice Minister Carlo Nordio’s recent remarks on gender parity continued to draw reactions as a sign reading “Meno femminicidi, più melonicidi” reported at the march prompted condemnations from Fratelli d’Italia figures.
