Rome, November 24th, 2023 – ITA Airways is actively participating in the International Day for the Elimination
of Violence against Women by renewing the “Voliamo lontano dalla violenza” (Let’s Fly Away from Violence)
awareness campaign together with the Atena Onlus, a foundation committed to spreading the culture of
prevention and women’s health.
The Company contributes to raising public awareness on gender-based violence, embracing the call issued
worldwide by the UN, which has dedicated the day of November 25th to this anniversary since 1999.
On November 25th, male crew on board each ITA Airways’ aircraft will wear a red pin, made of regenerated
fabric by female inmates of the Made in carcere Association. This pin is a symbol of the joint commitment with
Atena Onlus Foundation to raising awareness on the topic of violence against women. Tomorrow, an
announcement done on board ITA Airways’ flights will raise passengers’ awareness on the initiative.
To reinforce its commitment, later today ITA Airways’ headquarters in Rome Fiumicino will be lit up in red.
ITA Airways has always been at the forefront of supporting initiatives related to social sustainability and has
been committed to promoting equality and inclusion since its inception.
